Introduction
Some household appliances are energy hogs, quietly driving up your electricity bill without you realizing it. Among them, one particular device consumes power so rapidly that it can use in just one minute what many other appliances take hours to consume. Knowing which appliance this is and how to manage its use can help you save significantly on your energy costs.
The Culprit: The Electric Kettle or Instant Water Heater
The appliance that quickly doubles your electricity usage is often the electric kettle or instant water heater. These devices draw a high wattage to rapidly heat water, consuming a massive amount of energy in a short time.
Why Does It Use So Much Energy?
High Power Consumption: Electric kettles can use between 1200 to 3000 watts, significantly more than devices like refrigerators or LED lights.
Short, Intense Bursts: Although used for short periods, their intense energy use per minute adds up.
Frequent Use: Repeated boiling or heating throughout the day can cause substantial energy draw.
