Tired of paying a lot of money for electricity? Unfortunately, without these spending items, it is impossible to imagine the modern world, but each of us can easily reduce it. In this article, we will learn how to save energy at home, without the use of complex tools and prohibited methods. Lets start!
Electrical appliances that use the most energy
First, let's determine where exactly our kilowatts of energy are.
The most "greedy" household appliances:
- Refrigerator - 30 kW;
- Electric heater - 60 kW;
- Boiler - 180 kW;
- Computer - 45 kW;
- TV - 20 kW.
It is easy to guess that we will restrict the operation of this device, but how can we do this without great damage, because without it it is difficult to imagine everyday life? Let's think about it now.
How to start saving kilowatt electricity
- Lubricate the refrigerator more often. Ice in the freezer increases energy consumption significantly and no electricity is used during thawing.
- Forget the habit of opening the refrigerator door in a state of inactivity. Space absorbs heat and its use increases.
- Remember to turn off your laptop and computer. Even in sleep mode, they use electricity.
- Do not get carried away by the heater. Try to make the most of your apartment. There are many options, the main thing is to get rid of drafts on the windows.
- Remember! Any electrical appliance uses insignificant energy even when turned off, so unplug it.
- Very common, but important advice: when leaving the room, turn off the lights, and even the TV, which is always played somewhere in the background.
- Try to monitor the quality of electrical equipment and its lifespan. Savings are a trend in the production of any equipment nowadays. Also monitor the wiring status.
We do almost everything possible, just include this rule as a habit.
Electrical saving devices
We are talking about technological innovations that reduce energy consumption.
LED bulbs
In laboratory conditions, high quality LED lights can be 9 times more economical than incandescent lamps, and work 30-50 thousand hours. Although our daily life cannot be compared to the situation in the laboratory, such lighting has another important advantage - the possibility of repair in the event of a breakdown. Although these lamps are more expensive than conventional lamps, their purchase will definitely pay off.
Energy saver
The operating principle of such devices is based on the reduction of voltage drop in the network and ensures stability in the operation of electrical equipment. Read the instructions carefully if you decide to use them!
Solar Panel
Often only suitable for private homes, it is low energy and expensive. However, there are devices on the market with built-in solar panels, such as lamps. Place them on the site and they will be exposed to sunlight until nightfall, and consume accumulated electricity in the evening.
Thermostat
Suitable for those who use boilers and boilers to heat water, the thermostat will allow it to turn off when heated to a certain temperature.
The above methods and devices can help you reduce energy consumption and save a lot of money.
I would also like to say that saving electricity is not only beneficial for the budget, but also a great benefit to mankind. So let’s take care of our planet’s ecology along with the pleasant benefits for ourselves!
