How to save electricity

So far, the largest electrical energy on earth has been produced from non -renewable sources (burning of oil, gas, stone and brown coal).The reserves of these fossils are not unlimited, so

Power saving by optimizing consumption

First of all, you should think about whether it is possible in some cases to fully use the use of electrical appliances or to shorten the time of operation.You have to pay attention to the following points:

  • If possible, use daylight day to increase the maximum lighting of the room.By regularly washing windows, increased blinds and open curtains, you can later switch on the lighting, which achieves noticeable savings for a month.In addition, light wallpapers or color can return up to 80% of the sunlight on the walls and the ceiling, while it is noticeably lighter in the room than during a repair in dark colors.
    • Power savings with different types of lamps
  • Earth of light bulbs and in particular the ceiling increase the light output of the device by 10-15%.If you use a clean chandelier with an open plafon, you can screw a light bulb.
  • It is advisable to buy the upper chandelier with the possibility of switching on part of the light bulbs separately.If you display a television show alone, a lamp is sufficient and use full lighting if you receive guests.
  • Combined lighting (wall lights on the walls, floor lamps, table lamps) not only save electricity at home, but also a way to create the necessary atmosphere on the premises of the necessary atmosphere (business, romantic, comfortable) for all occasions.With proper use of local lighting, the general can be minimized.
  • Light should not burn in rooms that are currently not used.This habit with a certain effort is generated by all family members for several months.If nobody is left in the house or in the apartment, it is advisable to switch off all correct consuming devices except the fridge.
  • Devices in standby mode do not consume that much electricity, but if you remember how many such devices are in the house, it becomes clear that a considerable part of the energy is almost wasted.For example, a normal loudspeaker system in standby mode requires 11 W/hour.
  • Checking and replacing the old wiring is not superfluous both in terms of savings and fire protection.The number of T -shirts, adapters and extensions should be minimized, since its use leads to an increase in network resistance and energy loss to 30%.It is better to install a few more sockets when replacing the cabling.

In this way you save electricity with energy storage technologies

Almost all more or less decent modern companies that produce household or computer devices are fighting for energy maintenance.Under conditions for growth in electric prices, this offers you competitive advantages.

The consumer of these devices only has to carefully monitor new market offers.

  • Purchase of electrical appliances.It is necessary to be interested in the class of their energy consumption, the most economic class A, A+, A ++, the least - class E, F, G. The difference between classes A and G can be twice as high.
  • However, the purchase of an energy storage device is only half of the case.It still has to be operated correctly.A blocked bag in a vacuum cleaner leads to a loss of 40% of the electricity, approximately the same image with a refrigerator that is covered with a layer of snow and ice.
  • The insulation of an apartment or a house (replacing windows with metal plastic, walls of walls with foam or mineralization, door compression, glazing of the balcony and loggia) remains better heat.As a result, powerful electrical heaters can be used less before the start of the heating season or with insufficiently warm batteries or generate a convenient temperature in the heating.
  • The easiest way to save electricity is to replace the light bulbs with energy.This requires a unanimous purchase of much more expensive lamps (energy storage fluorescence or LEDs), but your installation pays off pretty quickly, sometimes within a year.The luminescent "economy" consumes 5 times less than the usual "Ilyich lamp" and the LED -more than 8 times.At the same time, economic lamps serve ten times longer.

How to save electricity at home and take consumption into account exactly

The assistant in this matter can be devices that provide visual information about the energy used and the possibility of its more rational use.

  • Two or three tariff electronics meters e/energy.Through the installation, the energy that is consumed during the day and at night is divided.The night tariff is about 30%lower.This is due to the need to unload electrical networks during the peak voltage times and to the transfer of consumption into a "quieter" time.Therefore, it is profitable for the consumer who later has such a meter to use electricity costs (kettle, washing machine, iron, dishwasher, bread button, pressure cooker) that can be programmed for use at certain hours.The counter must be legalized in the power supply supplier of electricity.
  • Light regulator (dimmer).This device is installed instead of the switch and makes it possible to adapt the brightness of the light of the lamp.The same lamp can use a dimmer to generally illuminate the room, read, a television or look like a night light.There are also light regulators with remote control or the option of changing from several points.The advantage of dimmer is that you extend the lifeguards of the lamps, but cannot be used with all types of lighting devices.
  • Impulse relay.You can control the lighting of various places in the house.It is easy to use if you switch off all of the lighting in the room by pressing a key.
  • Movement sensors.They are installed in living and office areas as well as in yards.Switch on and off the light in the presence or absence of movement.
  • Household watt meter.Measures the performance of the consumption of each device, frequency and the voltage in the network.With this information you can take measures to save electricity.

How to save electricity at home

The most powerful devices in the house are a refrigerator and an electrical stove.People have often used the same refrigerator for more than 10 years.At the same time, the technology has prescribed in such a way that the new refrigerator is half as much consuming the energy so that the person who saves the purchase of a new device is constantly losing for the payment of invoices.

  • The refrigerator should not be installed near plates or heating batteries in poorly ventilated corners and niches.This leads to overheating and more frequent inclusion.For the same reason, it is not recommended to open a plate and pots with hot products in the refrigerator as well as too often or for a long time.In order to save money, it is also better to cool the average mode and to lift the average mode and to be cleaned by snow and ice.
  • There is not every house in every house, but where it is, the guidance of the costs of the electricians behind it.But here is the opportunity to save energy.The size of the dishes in which the food is prepared should not be less than the burner used, the floor should be straight.A dish closed with a lid is prepared 20-30% faster.After cooking water, the combustion temperature is best transferred to a low temperature regime.This does not affect the process of preparing the shell, but reduces the consumption of e/energy.
  • The washing machine works the most stable in the regulatory stress specified in the instructions.Overload or incomplete load as well as unjustified use of the preliminary washing function increases the consumption of electricians from 10 to 30%.
  • The electrician needs regular cleaning of the scaling.Don't cook the full kettle for the future, enough water to brew a cup of tea.
  • Only switch on the air conditioning system with tightly closed windows and doors so as not to cool the road.There are models of the Canvertor climate systems with reduced electricians by 50%.

This is just a part of the tips for saving electricity.Overall, they can be found in other articles in the section.However, we should not forget that saving resources not only looks after your own wallet, but also preserves the environment for children and grandchildren.

Each 100 general watt electrical energy means 33 liters of oil or 48 kilograms of coal or 35 cubic meters of natural gas.If we add this to the problem of natural pollution through harmful emissions, it becomes clear that the use and saving of electricity is not only the private question of every consumer, but also the global problem of all of humanity.
