Introducing the electricity bills and power saving methods on ironing

How much is the electricity bill for iron in the month and year?

If an iron is used for 10 minutes every day for a month (30 days), about 202 for a compact type (about 600W) and a large type (about 1500W)..It costs 5 yen/month electricity bill.Considering the year, it is about 972 yen/year, about 2,430 yen/year.

The calculation method of the above electricity bill is as follows.

Here, the "electricity fee" is 27 yen per hour, referring to the new electricity price unit price ( * 1) of the National Federal Power Electric Product Fair Trade Association.

Based on the results above, it is necessary to reduce the number of iron watts and usage time in order to reduce the electricity bill for using the monthly iron.

About the temperature control function of the iron

81 yen/month for 600W calculated earlier, 202 for 1500W.It is a number of 5 yen/month, but this number is the amount of the iron left.

The iron is equipped with a temperature control function, which can be a little cheaper than the previous amount.The reason is that, although it depends on conditions such as functions and room temperature, an iron equipped with a temperature control function enters the heat retention after a few minutes.

Once you enter the heat retention, you can use it almost twice as much as the time you had energized.If you use it, the lamp that was lit may disappear, which represents a heat retention state that has not been energized.

Therefore, it will actually be a little smaller than the electricity bill introduced above.

To save electricity bills in the order of ironing

This time, we will introduce how to save the order of ironing using the waiting time that the iron gradually rises the temperature.

Low temperature (80 degrees to 120 degrees): Silk (silk), wool, polyurethane, etc.

If you start to warm up after turning on the power (around 80 ° C.), iron (silk), wool, and polyurethane materials.

Clothes using these materials should not be wrinkled with high -temperature iron.Let's iron from the laundry scheduled to have a low temperature display before warming up.

Medium temperature (140 degrees to 160 degrees): polyester, nylon, acrylic, etc.

In the temperature zone of the medium temperature (140 degrees to 160 degrees), iron the material of polyester, nylon, and acrylic.This temperature range is relatively frequently used.

Material that is suitable for high temperature

In the high temperature temperature zone (180 ° C.210 degrees), iron the material of cotton and hemp.Both are fabrics made of natural materials, so they are durable and hard to stretch.Pick up clothes using cotton or hemp in advance, and iron at once when the high temperature is displayed.

Be aware of the timing of drying to reduce the use time of ironing

In order to save the electricity bill for ironing, it is effective to reduce the time to use the iron.Specifically, it is a good idea to devise wrinkles as much as possible during washing.

In the first place, the cause of wrinkles during washing is "water".

Natural cotton and hemp contain water by washing.If the fiber contains water, the connection between the molecules will weaken and fall apart.Then, if the clothing dries in a separate state, it will be fixed and wrinkled with its shape.

In other words, it is important not to fix the clothing while the fiber contains moisture to prevent wrinkles.After the dehydration, dry it as soon as possible so that you do not leave it wet after washing.

Also, when drying, dry the whole wrinkle as much as possible.

Iron is one of the high -power consumption home appliances.

When using an iron, changing the order of the clothes you handle will make it possible to iron it efficiently, saving time and money.Also, preventing wrinkles themselves from time to wash will save the electricity bills on the iron, so it is a good idea to use the iron.
