Simple ways to save electricity

The consumption at certain hours of electricity (from 10 p.m. to 5 p.m., plus weekends and public holidays) costs three times cheaper.Many household appliances can be programmed in such a way that they are included in the "economic hours".

Such points are already in almost all new houses.Those who do not have it can turn to an energy supply organization with an explanation in which they have to write that they want to switch to time duties.And the usual counter must be replaced electronically.

Electricity savings

Lighting and household appliances

  • Replace ordinary incandescent lamps with energy -saving, compact fluorescence lamps or LED lamps.Energy -saving lamps consume energy that have about 80% less than conventional incandescent lamps and serve 8-10 times longer.
  • Use free daylight as far as possible.It is 10% lighter when the windows in the house are clean.Beautiful tulle also absorbs a lot of light.
  • Do not switch on general lighting (chandelier) but local lighting.
  • Fill the drum of the washing machine completely and do not let the machine work idol.Only use a higher washing temperature with very dirty linen.Not very dirty linen can be washed at 40 degrees.
  • Switch in the vacuum cleaner to change or clean filters to collect dirt and dust as often as possible.
  • When ironing, switch off the iron in advance and stroke the rest of the laundry until it has cooled down.Use the ironing board of the heat outlet.When choosing an iron, you must pay attention to the presence of a thermostat and switch on the handle.
  • When buying electrical appliances and household appliances, pay attention to the energy consumption class of the household device.Class A is the most economical.When choosing a refrigerator, you have to pay attention to the volume when choosing a washing machine for your capacity.
  • Switch off the "standby TV", the speakers, acoustic systems, microwaves, computers and printer in "sleeping" mode and also consume electricity.Everything except the fridge can be switched off.

How much electricity does the technology use in "sleep" mode per year?

  • Personal computer 50 kWh.
  • DVD player 40 kW · h.
  • TV 25 kWh.
  • Microwave oven with a timer 25 kW · H.
  • Oven with a timer 25 kW · h.
  • Charger 20 kW · h.
  • Columns 15 kWh.

If you switch off electrical devices from sockets, you can save 200 kW per year.

If you have an electric stove:

  • Use pans with a ground diameter that corresponds to the diameter of the electric oven.
  • Do not buy pots with a thick floor, they heat up longer.
  • Replace pots and burners with an unequal surface: with your loose contact, up to 50% more energy is output.
  • Use the fireplace's residual heat: switch them off a little earlier than the dish is ready.
  • If possible, prepare dishes in the oven that is designed for many portions or several different dishes at the same time.
  • Do not use electric stove burners to heat the rooms.

If you cook:

  • Use an electric kettle to heat a small amount of water.
  • Clean the electric scale boiler regularly.
  • If you often have to heat water, buy a thermal device that combines the functions of the teapot and thermal body.
  • Use a pressure cooker.
  • Use a microwave to warm up the finished dishes.

Refrigerator

  • Do not install the refrigerator from heating and heating devices and close it from direct sunlight.
  • Don't forget to fend in time.A fur coat in the freezer is an unnecessary insulator that makes the camera cold as necessary.
  • Set the gap between the back wall of the refrigerator and the wall of the room of at least 5 to 10 cm.
  • Put only chilled dishes in the fridge.
  • Determine permanent places for products in the fridge so as not to keep it open for a long time.

TV

  • Constantly television for many & MDSH;Just a solid background.But remember that he calculated a work in the clock.The more it works, the faster it will fail.
  • Instead of seeing the television, hearing the radio, it usually uses less electricity.Instead of looking at a television, you will generally find other interesting courses that read books, walks, sports, in the garden, active or intellectual games.

Electrical heating

  • Electrical power heaters are considered particularly in the increase in energy.You will not be needed if you areolating the apartment.Most warm air go through the cracks in the windows and the flimsy front door.
  • You can increase the strength of a conventional battery by laying a piece of food film along the wall behind the cooler.Every heat is reflected in the room and do not warm the wall.
  • Long curtains, radiators, unsuccessfully placed furniture, frames to dry laundry in front of batteries can absorb up to 20% heat.Do not block the heat path.

Water

  • It is important to remove the malfunctions of the sanitary devices in good time.After all, the current crane can "drop" water per day from 30 to 200 liters!
  • A single blade mixer like a thermal mixer contributes to the use of energy.You save a considerable amount of hot water, which would otherwise flow without benefit.
  • During the introduction of water methods, it is better to use the shower than the bathroom: it reduces water consumption 5-7 times.It is used even less if you install an economic dispersed with a smaller diameter of the holes.You can also install spray nozzles on the taps.Free the habit of brushing your teeth at a time when water flows without need.
  • A water waste is also considered a drainage of the toilet, which has an average of about eight liters of water.Usually only more than 50 liters are spent on these needs every day.It is therefore better to choose toilets with two drain modes.If the drain container is not equipped with such a device, you can try out the old tool: Fill the two-liter bottle with water and lower it into the tank.This simple device saves up to 20 liters of water a day.
