SAVE ON LIGHTING
Energy-saving lamps are now very popular. The LED bulb is a new stage in the evolution of energy-efficient light sources. This type of light works longer than a few traditional incandescent bulbs and uses less electricity. The incandescent bulb converts only a small portion of the electricity used into light, while energy-saving lamps convert more than half of the electricity used into light. And, despite the relatively high cost of such lamps, they will pay off in 5-8 months. Replacing them with all incandescent bulbs, you can save a significant amount of family budget.
It is safe to say that replacing traditional incandescent bulbs with modern LED bulbs is the most efficient method of saving electricity. With LED lights, the cost of electricity on lighting will be reduced by 6-10 times. In addition, Implementing easy power plan and LED bulbs will last almost 50 times longer than conventional ones – and this is an additional benefit.
Do not turn off the lights in the room if you leave it for a few minutes. Too often turning the lights on and off does not save electricity, but on the contrary, increases its consumption. For the same reason, the lamps fail earlier than expected. You need to turn off the lights if you leave the room for half an hour or more.At the end, its all about saving the electricity in your home
SAVE ENERGY IN THE KITCHEN
One of the largest consumers of electricity in an apartment or a private house is a refrigerator. For economical and effective work it should be sometimes thawed, and before you put in the refrigerator hot products, it is better to wait for them to cool to room temperature. This will avoid the formation of ice on the walls of the refrigeration chamber, and the efficiency of the refrigerator will increase.The fridge in the kitchen is important to place in the right place. It should not be installed in direct sunlight, next to a gas stove or heating radiator – in these cases, electricity consumption can increase by a quarter. In addition, you need to leave some distance between the wall of the room and the back wall of the refrigerator for the normal cooling of the radiator – so the compressor will work more efficiently.Electricity can be saved even if there is no gas in the house, and an electric spit is installed. In order not to waste electricity, the diameter of the burner should coincide with the diameter of the bottom of the dishes used, and the dishes should be made of stainless steel – enameled and Teflon analogues are heated longer. Do not forget about the lids on pots and pans – they reduce the loss of heat several times.The electric stove, as well as the refrigerator, is an energy-intensive appliance. Based on the data of general statistics, it can account for more than half of all electricity consumed, so the process of its use should be taken responsibly. Another saving option would be to use a multi-cooker – often it will be more energy efficient than a conventional stove.It is better not to boil water on the electric grid – the kettle will do it faster and will spend much less electricity. And if it formed a snup, it can be easily disposed of by boiling water with lemon.
SAVE ON HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES
Vacuum, iron, washing and dishwasher… You can also save energy when you use them. For example, a clean vacuum cleaner filter will increase the suction capacity by one and a half times and use a third less electricity when cleaning. The washing machine should not be turned on with an empty or half-empty drum of laundry – the electricity consumption will be the same as with a full drum. The installation of water temperature at 30 degrees will also contribute to the savings of electricity – high-temperature rinse modes are not always needed. And to save energy by ironing the ironing board, you can put a sheet of aluminum foil, which effectively reflect the heat of the iron and keep it in the fabric.In addition to the reasonable use of the resources of the available electrical appliances, when choosing new ones it is worth to choose in favor of energy-efficient devices of Class A and above: The Class A device is twice as efficient in terms of electricity use as its analogue Class E. Of course, high energy class devices are more expensive, but when buying new appliances for a long time is not worth saving -the price of the device will quickly pay off with lower energy costs .If you don't plan to use your computer, TV, and other devices that are on standby and connected to the network for a long time, turn them off and disconnect them from the outlet. If they don't, they will continue to consume electricity and waste it.
