WHat are 10 household energy draining devices?

Answer 1

lights, washer, dryer, refrigerator, television, a/c, heater, computer, stereo equipment, water heater.

Also, I don't know if these qualify as "devices" but I know they drain resources: faucets, shower heads, toilets that constantly make that little "filling up" noise, the stripping around windows and doorways, and anything left plugged in (kitchen appliances, hair dryer, radio, iron, power tools, sewing machine, etc.)

Answer 2

Look around your house. Do you have a furnace? Hot water system? A dish washer uses far more hot water than doing dishes in a sink full of water. Jacuzzi in the bathtub? Backyard pool? Old refrigerator? Some people keep the old frig to use in the rec room, or for additional storage, when they buy a new one. But the old ones are energy monsters. The new ones are much better, but there are still lots of the other kind around. Automatic devices that turn things on and off are another energy drainer. Our neighbour has automatic sprinklers in his law. The system goes on regardless of what the weather is doing, and we often see his sprinklers going when it's pouring rain out. That is really inefficient -- both from the energy standpoint and the water conservation standpoint.

Answer 5

Top energy drainers are those with "ghost" loads - computers, televisions, VCRs, cell phone chargers. microwaves, etc. Even though they are off, they are still using elecricity for their "instant on" features or their chargers. I unplugged my each night from the wall and my electricity bill went down by 25-30%. Walk around your house and you will be amazed at how many things you can unplug from the wall and only plug back in when you actually use them. Yes, it's kind of a pain, but the savings will make it a habit.
