Are you worried about the high charges you get monthly from your electric power distributor? Or are you worried about how quickly you exhaust your energy subscription?
If you are sure you are not sharing your power with anyone, then check the gadgets you have in your apartment to know the ones gulping lots of energy.
The list below shows the time it takes for some of your home appliances to consume 1 unit (1 KWH) of electricity.
According to the report, 1 unit of electricity may last up to 66 hours if it is powering just an energy saving light bulb.
However, its lasting period may be as short as 27-30 minutes if used to power an electric kettle or steam pressing iron.
