We Americans love our TVs. The average American household has approximately three televisions. It has become the standard, today, to have a TV in the living room, bedroom, and even the kitchen. We all know that TVs use electricity. Many of us don’t know exactly how much they do use, and how to keep from running the electric bill up, with all of those televisions.
The average television can use anywhere between 80 and 400 watts of electricity. The bigger the television is, the more power it uses. This is the one golden rule for all types of televisions. If you want to use less power while watching television, stick to a smaller set. Another basic rule for all televisions, is to turn it off when it is not being watched, and even unplug it.
When looking for a new television, look for one that is Energy Star-compliant. This label, put on certain electronic devices, by the government, is a standard to look for when shopping for any electronic device. Televisions with this label use over 30 percent less energy than other models of the same class.
When comparing models of televisions, the old DLP type of television tends to use the most electricity. This is the older style of big, bulky television that has been around for many years. Plasma televisions, while newer, use lots of electricity, also. They also create lots of heat, which can run up your air-conditioning bill during the summertime.
For the most energy-efficient television, go with an LCD TV. It is the most all-around, energy efficient television made today. It is only triumphed in efficiency by the rear-projection, or DLP, style television, and that is only for sets over 50 inches.
Anyone wanting to cut their energy bills should look for a small, Energy Star-compliant, LCD television for each and every TV set in the house. Their wallets will thank them.
