Due to the energy crisis that the country has passed during the last time, the inflation of energy rates in the previous months has reached 11.44% annual. As the authorities explain, this behavior is due to the fact that electricity and other inputs necessary for energy are being more expensive to produce.
The complete list of the appliances that spend the most
According to an analysis by the metro -cornered website, These appliances were identified as energy expenditure spotlights:
The hair dryer is also one of the most watts. Photo:stock
- Clothing dryer: 5.6 kW per hour. If used daily in a medium stratum home, the cost can be about 22,000 if you are washed clothes once a week and left on for an hour.
- Clothing dryer: 1.76 kW per hour. If we calculate with a family of middle stratum and the appliance is left on for half an hour every day, the cost would be $ 13,142.
In addition to avoiding unnecessary consumption, hazards such as short circuits can also be prevented due to defective energy management. This usually happens especially when there are cuts such as those in several parts of the country.
Why is energy saving important?
Energy saving is important because, depending on hydroelectric energy, limited resources are available. That is to say that when the water is over, the energy will end and will have to return to the ration that was before.

It is then vital for Colombians to know and Take into account the recommendations of governments to avoid a future rationing of energy in the national territory.
Why do some appliances spend more energy than others?
The consumption of appliances not only depends on the consumption habits of families. Factors such as power, seniority, and energy consumption filters with which they have.

Heat generation and cold generation are fundamental factors if you want to talk about consumption greater than other house appliances. Air conditioners and heater will always require more energy than a traditional appliance, because they are made with technologies that require greater energy to function

Saving means stop using?
Organized use of dryers or appliances that require a complete cycle is also one of the ways that can be used to save energy while using primary appliances.
Adjusting the temperatures of the refrigerators and the air conditioners will also help spend less energy in the house or in the workplace. The more temperature it is put on one of these devices, the more energy you will have to consume.
The importance of choosing better
Appliances are a necessary part for the operation of a home. That is why choosing low consumption appliances and taking measures of this type can be a home contribution for environmental care.
In the context in which Colombia is currently, Changing consumption habits can be a way to prevent a future without energy, by raising future generations of the importance of saving it.
