The whole of our daily life in connection with the use of a variety of electrical devices, the us, the desired level of comfort. But, unfortunately, the ecology of its use deteriorating. Therefore, the question about the reduction of the electricity today is very acute consumption.
Saving electricity reduces the consumption of natural resources are not infinite, to reduce the emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere, and thus to make a contribution to the conservation of our rivers, lakes and forests. And, of course, unnecessary power consumption significantly reduce the rise in addition to cost, what is very important - because the prices constantly.
And if each person starts to save electricity in the house, will benefit not only he alone but the whole country.
Energy-Efficient Tips
Before you save electricity, you need to determine which household consuming devices on the most current and operate properly.
Fridge
One of the most important electrical consumers in the house. The fridge runs constantly, thereby increasing the freshness and integrity of food spoilage. But if you use it incorrectly, then he will consume more than necessary.
Notes on operation
Properly install the refrigerator. It should not be next to the stove or the battery and on the Sunny side, for this reason, he begins to work harder and increases the power consumption significantly. Must not also set it flush to the wall, which disturbs the airflow and leads to overheating.
You can monitor the temperature, issued in the fridge. If it is turned on, practically without interruption, you need to expose less cold mode. It is not much of an impact on the shelf life of products, but also helps to save electricity. The foods that spoil faster, it is better, in addition to the wall of the refrigerator, where the temperature is lower.
Something to thaw you do it in advance: take the frozen product from the freezer and place in the cooling part on the Top-shelf products, "" work to help the refrigerator to save electricity.
Do not place warm food in the fridge, and let it open the door, try not to open it often. All of this leads to the fact that he is turned on more frequently and consume more energy.
Fridge defrosting on a regular basis. Ice cream in the fridge is not cooling, but, on the contrary, a thermal insulator's working. So the fridge avoiding the formation of ice-cream "thrusts must be thawed,".
Electric cooker
One of the wasteful electric appliances. Long heats and cools, more energy-intensive. Therefore, the correct use of the electric cooker is one of the most important opportunities for saving energy. And on the preparation of food, you can save considerably.
Notes on operation
Do not place the stove and refrigerator in the kitchen nearby. You will receive a significant increase in local expenditures due to empty loss of power to a device, additional cooling and heating of the other.
Cook food on low heat. In most cases, an efficient heating system is not needed. Usually a liquid you have to boil and then cook on low heat. Use the residual heat hob rings: turn the stove to 10 minutes, until cooked meals.
Use pans with a bottom that is equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of the hotplate of the electric stove. Not worth, cooking utensils and, to a lesser extent, and allow the rings "what is air".
The soil of pots and pans should be flat, closely adjacent to the stove. Cookware with uneven floor can cause the over-expenditure of the electric power up to 40-60%.
When cooking, close the pan lid, for a while, not additional heat. When cooking with the lid open consumption of electricity increases, increased in two and a half times. And if even lifting the cover slightly, consumption electrics still higher than at the closed.
When cooking vegetables, pour in the pan and less water. It is Optional to cover with water completely. And the less water.
Warm up the food, and in some cases, and to cook, is cheaper in the microwave. It consumes less power. In addition to the food faster is burned.
Washing Machine (Dryer) Machine
Due to the powerful Motor and large revolutions, the washing machine a lot of electricity consumed. In the selection of the machine, as well as other household devices, select the technique of class A. It is energy-intensive is the most economic one.
Notes on operation
macerari clothes before washing. Dirt moves faster away from the Laundry, and it is not necessary, it will be washed in the machine several times.
You can use the full capacity of the machine. When loading of the container of the washing machine, only half 50% of its capacity run, consumed in the blank. But the machine do not overload the also need. The volume of the Laundry, such as freight, bringing additional costs on the electricity bill.
Washing at a temperature of 30°C instead of the usual 40°C saves 40% energy. The quality of the wash is so, because modern washing powders are designed in such a way that a more efficient washing at low temperatures. You can not buy foaming detergent.
Excessive use of the drying can also be a factor for the inefficient use of electricity.
You remove clothes from the dryer a little damp. It improves drapability of fabric and to facilitate Ironing. And to dry, by the way, or to damp Laundry ironed for longer than just a little damp, and therefore, greater power consumption occurs.
Dishwasher
Has the advantage that it is a very cost-effective way of usage of water. For example, for washing 12 to 14 place settings in the machine 14-18 liters of water, and in the case of manual laundering – about 60 liters.
Notes on operation
You can use the full capacity of the machine.
You clean the dishes of coarse impurities before loading in the machine.
If you have your car for a half load mode, use it when washing small amounts of dishes.
TV
Modern television devices characterized by low power consumption, however, the observance of the basic rules is able to reduce your use of power.
Notes on operation
When you listen to a TV to view music, click to clear the image.
Always try to turn the TV off, even if you leave a space around 5 - 10 minutes. To prevent the TV worked, wasted, used as a background Sound.
Computer
Computers consume a lot of energy, especially as often you will be required to stay for days included. Therefore, if you have the choice, better with your Notebook instead of the PC - it is much more economical.
Notes on operation
You use the energy saving mode of the computer – he is in every operating system.
It makes no sense to constantly of the Computer to turn off, if he uses in the course of the day. This has a negative impact on its functioning. However, during the work breaks, we recommend you to turn off the monitor of your computer.
Peripherals such as a printer and a Scanner, you should see the device in the network, only when needed.
Heating.
In the cold season, the main consumer of electricity. He not only consumes considerable amount of energy, but also dries the air. If the heat is not enough of a conventional heating system, then think of the additional embodiments of protection against the cold.
Tips to keep the heat in the house
You can not get out to close up slots and openings in the house, by the heat, to insulate the floor and Windows, wash the old batteries from the grid or install additional.
You can in the house are plastic Windows. You save about twenty percent of the heat in the room. This means that the heating must not use it at all, or much less frequently.
Properly ventilate the room. This should also be in the period of the switching off of the heating. Constantly open ventilation window, surprisingly, is not cooling but the air the room. You can use the full airing for a couple of minutes away, open all the Windows. The air time will be replaced, and the surfaces in the room to stay warm. This reduces the heat losses and the heating will not turn on, warm again. And by the way, turn off the heating when the Windows are open.
A few additional tips to save energy
You use household appliances of class A
When buying appliances, choose energy-saving models marked a, A+, A++.
Do not leave electrical appliances in Standby-mode
Let the switched-on television into the wall outlet, microwave, electric light bulbs, kitchen appliances, and other devices. Even in stand-by mode, household devices to absorb this energy.
Use the residual heat from household appliances
For example, in the iron stores of the residual heat, which is enough for a couple of minutes of Ironing. Ironing Board with Heat Reflector is also a good opportunity for saving energy.
Turn off the stove a few minutes before the meal. To the left is the food itself comes on when the stove up to readiness.
Use them for interior lighting solutions
With the use of bright colours in the interior, decreases the necessary amount of electricity for lighting. If the floor and the walls are bright, they help visually expand the space and improve the illuminance. For example, a smooth white wall, 80% of the rays are reflected, dark green surface is only 15% of the light, black – 9 %
Not to neglect the light of day
The use of sun light – one of the main reserves of the savings of the electrical energy. For this house light walls and curtains are to be preferred. Not clutter up the window if something is in order to disturb the penetration of light into the rooms. By the way, dirty Windows will take up to 25% of the days light. To avoid wasting financial resources on unnecessary lighting, keeping the window panes are always kept clean.
Use economical devices for lighting
Replace incandescent lamps energy-saving lamps or LED. They consume energy-a lot less than conventional light bulbs and much longer to serve.
And by the way, you restrict the use of objects in the interior, the lighting of a satin finish and darkened glass. You hide the light and force the use of bulbs with more power.
You use the zonal lighting
You put in a room several lights: through the chair to read, beside the bed, writing/Computer Desk. Agree, there is no need, the whole room light, enough to illuminate only certain areas. For these purposes, you can.the less powerful lamps than the usual places in the main chandelier
Clean the luminaires against dust and dirt
In the course of time, to light bulbs, monitors, Monitor or TV dust Plaque is formed from this light, which begins to let them fade. To avoid more expenditure on power generation for this reason, wash it regularly with surfaces of lighting fixtures, often do you wash your lampshades to lamps and chandeliers.
