Are you tired of paying a lot of money for electricity? Unfortunately, without this expense item, it is impossible to imagine the modern world, but any of us can easily reduce it. This article will tell you how to save energy at home without using technically complex devices and prohibited methods. Let us begin!
The most energy-consuming electrical appliances
Let's first determine where exactly the kilowatts of our energy go.
The most "insatiable" household appliances:
- refrigerator - 30 kW;
- Electric heating - 60 kW;
- boiler - 180 kW;
- computer - 45 kW;
- TV - 20 kW.
It is easy to guess that we are going to restrict the operation of these devices, but how does that work without significant damage, because without them it is difficult to even imagine everyday life? Now let's find out.
How to save kilowatts of electricity
- Defrost the refrigerator more often. Ice on the walls of the freezer increases energy consumption significantly and no electricity is used when defrosting.
- Forget the habit of opening the refrigerator door while idling. The chambers absorb heat and consumption increases.
- Remember to turn off your laptop and computer. They use electricity even in sleep mode.
- Don't get carried away by heaters. Try to make the most of all the ways you can insulate your home. There are many options, the main thing is to get rid of drafts in the windows.
- Remember! All electrical appliances use insignificant energy even when they are switched off. Therefore pull out the power plug.
- Very common but important advice: when you leave the room, turn off the lights and the television, which is always playing somewhere in the background.
- Try to monitor the quality of electrical appliances and their lifespan. Saving is now a trend in device manufacturing. Also monitor the status of the wiring.
We have done almost everything, it only remains to introduce these rules into a habit.
Energy saving devices
We are talking about technological innovations that reduce energy consumption.
LED lamps
Under laboratory conditions, a high quality LED lamp can be nine times more economical than an incandescent lamp and 30-50. Can be used for 000 hours. Although our everyday life is not comparable to the conditions in a laboratory, such lamps have another important advantage - the possibility of repair in the event of a failure. Although these lamps are more expensive than traditional lamps, they will definitely pay off to buy.
Energy saver
The functional principle of such devices is based on the reduction of voltage drops in the network and ensures the stability when operating electrical devices. Read the instructions carefully if you are ready to use them!
Solar panels
Mostly only suitable for private houses, they are energy-saving and expensive. However, there are devices on the market with built-in solar panels, such asB. Lamps. Put them on the construction site and by the evening they will be charged by sunlight, and in the evening they will give out the accumulated electricity.
Thermostats
Suitable for those who use kettles and kettles for heating water. The thermostat can be used to turn them off when they are heated to a certain temperature.
The above methods and devices can help you reduce your energy consumption and save a lot of money.
I would also like to say that saving electricity is not only a benefit for the budget but also a great benefit for humanity. So let's take care of the ecology of our planet and bring us a pleasant benefit!
