As they say, "The economy should be thrifty", I want to talk today about how to save electricity. Why do I need this? - you ask. And just try to count all the electrical appliances in the apartment that you use. Howyou got many of them? Five? Ten? Twenty? Yes, you yourself will probably be surprised by this sum. Let's see who counts more. Reflect your calculations and the list of devices in the comments. Let's see who has more!
In the past there were far fewer electrical appliances in the households of the common people. At first there was only one pear that is not recommended for eating, so a lightbulb. By the way, we still talk about electricity quite simply: "I should pay for the light", as if only the lightbulbs were working in our apartments. But that time is over. Tape recorders, televisions . . . computers . . . microwave ovens appeared in families. . . iPhones, iPads, iPods, iPads and other power guzzlers.
Why we need to save electricity
The first reason: It costs money, and money won't just be used to pay the electricity bills.
The second reason: Certain natural resources are usually used to generate electricity. We, humans, consumers are still the same: we take resources, but we don't replenish them. Then at least we save money.
This is how you save electricity
In this article you will find just a few tips on how to save energy. So let's go
- Used - turned off. Teach yourself and your family members to turn off electrical appliances that are not needed. For example, do not turn on the lights at home or in an apartment if possible. Don't forget to turn off unnecessary light sources. The same goes for a television or computer. Don't leave it on "just in case". This "just in case" sneaks into your pocket along with a receipt for utility bills. In addition, there is a recent study that claims that most electrical appliances that are on standby also use a lot of electricity. Sometimes the difference between waiting and working to consume is pretty much the same. Try to separate what is unnecessary at the moment.
- Use daylight. Many people often turn on the electric light out of habit, even if it is still bright enough outside. Try to break this habit.
- Energy saving lamps. This is another way to save energy. They use many times less electricity than light bulbs. The lifespan of such lightbulbs (no counterfeits) is five to seven times longer than ordinary ones. There are still many questions about the use of energy-saving lamps.
- You can save a lot of money with a day-night meter, or rather a two-tariff meter. If you already have it installed, switch to a nocturnal lifestyle. To kid! But you can always change something. Why not switch the washing machine on at night, for example, it will switch off again later. If you're a fan of ironing all of the things in your closet, from sheets to laces, you can do so too to save money during the discounted rate action. So what do you think
- Save electricity when using electrical appliances. Do you cook sausages on the electric stove? Why pour a large saucepan with water. Even when boiling water in a kettle. You need a cup of tea, don't boil a full kettle. Do not let the iron heat up. Modern irons are usually ready for use within 30 seconds - one minute after being switched on. And you can turn off the iron a few minutes before it ends. It cools down much longer than it heats up. Fridge. If you don't put hot pots in it, less electricity will be used. Also, try moving the refrigerator away from radiators.
So tips are received. But they will be of little use if you do not bring them to life. Try to use at least a couple soon. Don't forget to compare the meter readings later.
