The appliance control system includes electrical appliances and an appliance control device. The appliance control device includes a control unit configured to, upon receiving an energy conservation instruction indicative of a total reduction amount, send a control signal including common control order indicative of an individual reduction amount of the power consumption of the electrical appliance to at least one of the electrical appliances based on the total reduction amount. Each electrical appliance includes a functional unit having plural operation states with different power consumption, a control instruction storage unit storing plural control instructions for changing the operation state, an individual storage unit storing individual control information indicative of a correspondence relation between the individual reduction amount and the control instruction, and an operation control unit. Upon receiving the control signal, the operation control unit selects the control instruction associated with the individual reduction amount indicated by the common control order included in the received control signal with reference to the individual control information, and provides the selected control instruction to the functional unit. The functional unit performs an energy conservation control process of changing the operation state in accordance with the received control instruction. |
