No longer relegated to the garage or the workshop, the search for more power is taking over the kitchen, as commercial-sized kitchen fans invade the home. The problem is, residential kitchens aren't regulated the way commercial kitchens are. This causes potential hazards when these huge fans are turned on.
Household electrical energy consumption is typically studied in two categories: a) energy consumption for familiar end uses, and b) energy consumption for miscellaneous (other or residual) end use. Assignment of the different electrical energy uses to these two categories is not standardized, with different research groups using different assignments. Familiar end uses generally include space heating, air conditioning, water heating, refrigeration, cooking, clothes drying, dish washing, lighting, television, and furnace fans.
