Since Taiwan adopts its "Summer Electricity Pricing Scheme" from June 1 to September 30 of every year, when the weather is extremely hot and air conditioning demand doubles, the electricity bill will be significantly more than it would be at other times of the year. In order to encourage people to think more carefully about how they may save power; home appliance experts have selected nine additional household items that use the most electricity in addition to air conditioners.

The most energy-intensive appliances include air conditioners, electric heaters, electric water heaters, hot water dispensers, refrigerators, dehumidifiers, clothes dryers, electric cookers, microwave ovens, and dish dryers, according to the home appliance expert. Heating appliances, such as clothes dryers and microwaves, use roughly 6 kilowatt-hours of power each month. About 12 kilowatt hours of power are used each month by electric stoves and dryers. The dehumidifier will use roughly 26 kilowatt-hours of power per month if it is utilized in the majority of homes.
Additionally, because they must run continuously, refrigerators use roughly 47 kilowatt-hours of power each month. The hot water dispenser uses around 48 kWh of power each month. The electric water heater's power consumption is highly high, thus even if it might not be used for very long each time, it might still take 60 kWh of energy in a month. In winter and summer, prolonged use of electric heaters and air conditioners results in monthly power usage of 63 and 135 kilowatt hours, respectively.

The Taiwan Power Company also reminds everyone that electrical appliances like set-top boxes and stereos that are on standby for a long time, when you go out for a long time or do not need to use them, You can also turn off the power to avoid power consumption in addition to the aforementioned 10 most power-hungry home appliances. To save energy and lower the danger of electrical conduction brought on by dust collection, it is best to disconnect any seasonal electrical equipment, such as air conditioners, electric fans, or heaters, that are not used for an extended period of time when the season changes.
