PoweredUp Electricity Demystified

Want to go green? Try going small when you move into your next home. We've just added new household consumption data that shows the pretty common sense information that bigger households consume more electric power. The thing is that when most people think about ways they can reduce their electricity consumption they look to expensive but ultimately optional options like replacing appliances or remodeling the home. Those choices can definitely help lower your power consumption.

Quick, which appliance uses the most electricity in your kitchen? Okay, there's a good chance you know that its your refrigerator. How about the rest of your kitchen appliances? If you have an electric range it's likely to consume almost as much power as your dishwasher. Combine the electric range with an electric oven and you've got the appliance that is likely to be the second largest electricity consumer among your kitchen appliances.
