When we talk about the problem of the water heater not turning off the electricity of several kilowatt-hours a day for 24 hours, we first need to understand the working principle and energy consumption of the water heater. The energy consumption of water heaters mainly comes from two aspects: heating and insulation. In heating mode, the water heater will determine the heating power according to the set temperature, the higher the temperature, the greater the power. In keep warm, the water heater mainly reduces energy consumption by maintaining the temperature.
Now let's analyze the energy consumption involved in the 24-hour water heater shutdown. If you set your water heater to keep warm for 24 hours, then it will constantly consume electricity to maintain the water temperature. However, the specific energy consumption depends on the insulation performance and power of the water heater. In general, the better the insulation performance of the water heater, the less energy consumption is required. At the same time, the more powerful the water heater, the more electricity will be consumed in the thermal mode.
To illustrate this issue concretely, we can take a 1500 watt water heater as an example. If it is kept warm for 24 hours, then its daily energy consumption is about 1500 watts 24 hours = 36 kWh (i.e. 36 kWh). Of course, this is only a rough estimate, and actual energy consumption may vary depending on the specific performance of the water heater and environmental factors such as room temperature.
Next, let's compare it to turning the water heater on when needed. If you only turn on the water heater when you need to take a shower or use hot water, then it will only heat up as needed, with no additional energy consumption for insulation. Therefore, from this point of view, it will be more energy-efficient to turn on the water heater only when it is needed.
To sum up, the amount of electricity required by a water heater for 24 hours a day depends mainly on the thermal insulation performance and power of the water heater. Generally speaking, if the water heater is kept warm for 24 hours, its energy consumption can be quite high. Therefore, in order to save electricity, it is advisable to turn on the water heater only when needed. In addition, the brands in the market that are more energy-efficient and have high consumer recognition are: Haier and Ao.Smith, Midea.
