Reduce the consumption of electrical energy to at least a quarter, it is absolutely real. Turn off the light, wash the windows, do not overload the washing machine, the machine, replace the incandescent bulbs... Calculations have shown that it is truly beneficial.
Do not waste the light wasted
- Turn off the light, passing from one room to another. Select thermal motion sensors, which turns off the light for you.
- Use the local lighting: lighting, floor lamps, wall lamps. For example, every time, to understand the main sources of light in the room is better to install led strip lighting.
- Remember that the cleaning — savings deposit. Dirty windows, dusty ceiling reduce the level of ambient light up to 35%.
- While the repair is, consider that light-coloured walls and furniture will reflect up to 80% of the flow of light and dark — only about 12%.
- Replace incandescent bulbs with energy saving bulbs and leds. Replacement of a single lamp will save about 1 000 rubles per year.
Properly, use electrical equipment
- In the absence of the two-tariff counter of the electric power, disconnect all non-essential electrical appliances for the night, and the charger — after a full recharge of the technology.
- The fridge should be regularly defrosted, if there is a special system No Frost. Make sure that the unit is as far away from heating appliances and ensure the natural ventilation of the rear wall. Put in him only chilled dishes!
- Monitor the integrity of the burner electric stove, and put on them only suitable for the size of the dishes with a bottom.
- Cover pots and pans lids: reduce heat loss by nearly three times.
- Try not to overload the washing machine (the excessive load increases the consumption of electricity by up to 10%) and use the average temperature. For washing at 30 degrees spent 35% less energy compared to washing at 40 degrees.
- Use an electric kettle instead of electric hot plates for heating the water. So it will be much cheaper. Boil only the amount of liquid used at this time.
- Regularly clean fans and filters of the air conditioner.
- Things that require low temperature ironing, switch off the iron.
- Do not leave technique, including microwave ovens, televisions, computers, scanner, printers, modem, in standby mode. This will allow you to save more than 200 kw per year.
- Use an electrical outlet with timer.
Buy energy-saving appliances
- All electrical appliances are marked by letters from A+++ to G. Choose the technique with a low energy consumption class, marked A and B.
- Buy appliances that use the latest energy-saving technologies. For example, becoming more and more popular, and induction cookers, heating only the bottom of the pot and don't consume wasted energy. The EFFICIENCY of such plates up to 95%!
Select the two-tariff counter
Two-tariff counter saves on the night. The counters to the advantage of those who can use energy-intensive appliances: dishwasher, washing machine, machine for bread — from 23.00 to 7.00. On average, the meter will pay for itself in a year.
Don't waste your heat for nothing
- Instead of the traditional heating use air conditioning, which is configured for the heating mode. If this helps the manufacturer, of course. Many air conditioners can be used with negative temperatures.
- Infrared heater statement for the rest of 30-80%.
- If the house has electric batteries, try to keep them clean, the dust has absorbed a part of the heat, and have not had to increase the temperature.
- By making use of a water heater, to lower the temperature of the heating of the water.
- Replace the water heater tankless. So by not wasting electricity to keep a certain temperature of the water.
- Heat water only if necessary. Disconnect the boiler from the mains when you leave your house and night.
- Once every three months to clean the water heater of the limestone, which increases the power consumption of 15-20%.
- Disconnect the appliance from the mains and close the water supply.
- Completely drain the water.
- Remove the cover of the boiler, attention to disconnect the cables and remove the thermostat.
- Unscrew the nuts that secure the flange. Push the flange upward, rotate and pull it towards the outside.
- Now you can cancel the heating element with a wire brush. To get rid of plaque and help, solution of acetic acid and hot water (1 : 5). Just turn the HEATER on for 30 minutes and make sure rubber seal is not in contact with the acid.
