Ok ThanksAlways remember to use the original charger from the manufacturer of the device you are charging. This avoids the risk that the battery will not be able to handle the power coming from the charger, or that there may be a defect in the manufacturers of an unoriginal chargers that may cause the risk of combustion

Ok ThanksThe air conditioner is one of the most energy-consuming and hard to dispense with in the summer and the rest of the year. Of course, it is best not to leave the device all day and night, but make it work at the time of need only with the possibility of running intermittently during the day. Make sure to close the doors and windows well so that cold air does not leak quickly. Do not turn on air conditioning if the fan is sufficient to cool the air.
A water heater heats up water in your home to provide you with hot water for your daily needs. Electric water heaters are typically running for 3 hours a day to heat water, newer more efficient models may run for only half the time during each day. A typical water heater will use around 4000 watts.
Refrigerators are one of the most common household appliances and are used to preserve food by keeping it cool, most refrigerators also come with a built-in freezer box for freezing food. Modern refrigerators are very energy efficient compared to older models from a few decades ago. A fridge will use anywhere from 100 to 400 watts depending on size, a large fridge will use about 180 watts or 1575 kWh annually.
Around 80-90% of the energy used by a washing machine is used to heat water, unless the washing machine is connected specifically to a hot water connection. Older top loader washing machines generally use more water and energy, this is why more modern and energy efficient designs are front loaders. A washing machine will use 400 to 1300 watts, with modern Energy Star rated models using about 500 watts.
The power consumption of computer or TV displays vary significantly based on the display technology used, manufacturer and build quality, the size of the screen, what the display is showing (static versus moving images), brightness of the screen and if power saving settings are activated. The energy consumption of a 22 inch LED-LCD display using 30 Watts for 5 hours a day
An average desktop computer uses between 60 and 300 watts. It is very difficult to know exactly how much computers use on average because there are so many different hardware configurations. The computer power supply is not an accurate way to measure energy use because the power supply output is advertised as the max amount of watts a power supply can output.
Hair dryers or blow dryers are popular household devices used for drying your hair by blasting cool, warm or hot air towards wet hair and increasing the evaporation of water. Most hairdryers will have a power rating label to indicate the maximum wattage, it typically ranges from 800 to 1800 watts. The energy use of a hair dryer depends which mode it is using, unheated air can use as low as 70 watts of power. A typical hair dryer on high heat will use around 1500 watts.
Cell phones, mobile phones, even smart phones and tablets are very energy efficient because they are designed to run on a battery for a long period of time. Cell Phones use approximately 2 to 6 watts when charging, while a charger left plugged in without a phone will consume 0.1 to 0.5 of a watt. Charging an iPhone or Android phone under normal use conditions will typically cost under a dollar for a full year.
