The new generation of electrical appliances helps to significantly reduce household electricity consumption. Of course, it is unthinkable to replace all existing equipment with energy-saving equipment immediately, but even the gradual replacement of outdated or outdated equipment can help improve the energy consumption parameters of the house.
Energy-saving appliances
refrigerator
The first energy-saving appliances we have seen can save a lot of money by reducing household energy consumption. After all, these devices work day and night, so it's best to choose carefully. These are refrigerators. Almost all the technological innovations of manufacturers are frequency conversion motors. They are very quiet and allow you to adjust the power consumption of your device to avoid peak consumption. By maintaining a constant and uniform temperature, energy consumption can be optimized and the efficiency of the refrigerator can be increased.
Several manufacturers have developed a technology that allows you to better preserve food by ventilating different compartments. The release of reactive oxygen species in modern models prevents the formation of bacteria. In turn, energy-saving refrigerators produced by Korean companies use insulation panels more effectively. They are much thinner than the materials used a few years ago. This means that modern refrigerators have become more energy efficient. There is more space for food, but less energy consumption is required for cooling. Recently, American researchers have ranked refrigerators in the forefront of energy-saving accordingly. The power consumption of these energy-saving appliances is the same as a 20W lamp. This result was achieved thanks to effective insulating materials, gaskets, new variable speed compressors, and the shape and location of the evaporator and condenser.
The results of other studies conducted in the United States may persuade even the most hesitant to replace refrigerators. Within 12 years after purchasing a new model, energy costs can be reduced by hundreds of dollars compared to old equipment. The most energy-efficient model is the model with a freezer on the top of the refrigerator. At the same time, side-by-side refrigerators have the worst energy efficiency indicators.
dishwasher
From a technical point of view, modern dishwashers not only consume less energy but also use less water, and the adjustable basket allows you to optimize the load. German manufacturers also take advantage of the properties of natural zeolite, a mineral that absorbs moisture during the washing process and releases it in the form of steam during the drying process, making the last step of the cycle faster and more efficient.
washing machine
Modern washing machines provide different washing cycles to reduce water and detergent consumption. A large number of studies have shown that the cleaning process does not depend on the temperature of the water and the detergent used, but is the result of the mechanical action of the drum. In this regard, new solutions have emerged. For example, the washing machine developed by the company introduces bubbles into the drum to allow the detergent to penetrate into the fabric better, and it can be washed well even in cold water.
induction cooker
Induction cookers are becoming more and more popular, even in the series of energy-saving appliances. They cook food by generating an electromagnetic field that only heats the bottom of the cookware. Therefore, there is no energy loss. Considering that the efficiency of these devices reaches 95%, and there are 30-60% leakage in traditional gas stoves, you can save money.
vacuum cleaner
How do you convert watts into useful work for a vacuum cleaner? If the vacuum system is not efficient, not much. By looking at the watts indicated on the energy label, the only thing you can tell is the energy absorption. But what if all these energy sources are not used effectively? New energy-saving appliances provide a good guarantee. The advantage of the vacuum cleaner model with cyclone technology is that there is no dust bag. The suction power remains the same, and the energy efficiency of the equipment benefits from this.
Energy efficiency label
After ensuring that electrical appliances can help save energy in the house, all that remains is to choose the correct model. There are many discounts, and navigation is not so easy. The first thing to do is to pay attention to the energy efficiency label, which gives a clear concept of energy consumption.
The horizontal arrow at the top indicates the energy efficiency rating, ranging from A +++ (best) to G (worst). The color of the arrow also indicates the energy efficiency of the equipment: from red for high energy consumption levels to dark green for the most energy-efficient appliances. The arrow shows the annual kWh energy consumption based on laboratory testing (ie under optimal conditions). Knowing the electricity bill, you can easily determine the annual electricity bill, which obviously also depends on how the equipment is used.
