FAQs
- Does smart home use more electricity?
No, actually smart home systems can reduce energy usage in lots of different ways. Many smart appliances on the market learn your routine, only heating rooms you’re in and never heating an empty house. So, no more forgetting to switch up the temperature before heading off to work.
- Do smart speakers use a lot of electricity?
Most smart speakers only use a small amount of electricity, but the exact amount will be different depending on the brand and model. Most of the time, smart speakers are left on while listening out for a command, but they use very little energy while sat idle like this. But to save some pennies, you can turn yours off if you know you won’t be using it for a while; like when you’re off on your holidays.
- Are smart lights energy-efficient?
Yes, overall, smart lights are energy efficient. Instead of using incandescent bulbs, most smart lights use LED bulbs which consume 85% less energy — and last up to 10 times longer too. On the flipside, if your smart light communicates over WiFi this can use more energy, as well as the power needed to stay on standby when not in use. However, the good news is that, they’re still more energy efficient than standard lights on the whole.
- How are home security systems powered?
Home security systems can be powered using a wired or wireless setup depending on the brand and specific system you’re using. Wired systems are powered by your home’s energy supply. While wireless systems use batteries for power. For some re-assurance, you can opt for a battery backup system that’s wired into your home energy supply but will switch to batteries if there’s a power cut.
- How long does a 12V battery last in an alarm system?
While it can differ depending on the specific system you’re using, a 12V battery in an alarm system will usually last three to five years.
- How much does it cost to run a security system?
How much it costs to run a home security system can depend on the brand, model, and the number of devices it uses. A basic alarm uses about 35 kWh per year while an alarm with cameras uses about 45 kWh per year. The more cameras and devices you add, the higher the energy use will be.
On top of that, some brands offer pay-monthly packages that’ll give you round-the-clock assistance and monitoring when you need it.- Does Google Home use a lot of electricity?
No, Google Home devices use relatively little electricity. The Google Home Hub uses around 3.4 to 4.6 watts when displaying photos or playing music, and just 2 watts while sitting idle. On the other hand, the Google Home Mini uses roughly 1.4 watts while idle and around 1.8 watts when playing music.
- Are Philips light bulbs energy efficient?
Philips light bulbs are very energy efficient, especially when compared to other types of bulbs on the market. Philips LED bulbs use around 90% less energy than incandescent bulbs and last a lot longer too.
- Are smart electric radiators expensive to run?
Smart electric radiators give you plenty of ways to make heating your home more cost-effective. The smart features let you set timers, make heating schedules for individual rooms, and some can even figure out the perfect time to turn on to prevent waste. So, although electricity does cost more than gas, smart electric radiators have lots of clever features to keep costs to a minimum.
- How many kWh does a smart meter use?
While the actual smart meter doesn’t cost anything to run, the in-home display typically uses 1 kWh of electricity per year.
- Do smart thermostats save electricity?
Yes, smart thermostats can help you save electricity by letting you easily control and understand your energy use. You can set timings, turn the heating on or off using your phone, and some can even learn you’re schedule to turn on at the right moment.
