Microwaves???

[misisgreen]

I didn't know that Electric ovens consume the most amount of electricity, followed by microwaves and central air conditioning. Microwaves requires more power compared to aircons?

I dont think so, air-conditioners consumption is more.

Here's a list of what uses the most power in U.S. homes. http://www.greenerpeople.com/forum/g...u-s-homes.html (What is electricity used for in U.S. homes?)

microwave oven consumes approximately 1,500 watts and a 2.5 ton central air con uses 3,500 watts of electricity

I think for this problem we should obey the regulation :Specific issue, concrete analysis.
it should according to Different voltage of different product .

What??? I have no idea what you are talking about. Explain or I'll delete this post.

I thought that Air Conditioners used at least twice the amount of energy as Microwave ovens. I've also read they need to be checked for radiation leaks after being in service for awhile.

Every appliance which generates heat consumes way more electricity than the others, take for example Irons and Heaters, they consume much more energy than compared to computers and refrigerators, and so do ovens.

I don't think the iron consumes more energy than my fridge...let's not get crazy now.
