Ways to save electricity in the apartment

The issue of saving electricity today is extremely important.Public services are quickly valuable, so many families catch their heads when future accounts come.It seems that the computer does not work in vain, the family turns off light when you get out of the room, home appliances are rarely used.But paying whenever they grow alone, what to do?It is necessary to study all aspects, then it is clear to follow the recommendations.Consider the main features.

Features of energy storage in the apartment

  1. Household appliances work not only in the usual way but also "sleep".This includes water heaters, microwaves, equipment (video and audio), loaders, all types of equipment, separation systems, computers, etc.
  2. When the equipment does not work, they are in readiness.This, in turn, still consumes electricity.To prevent the costs from increasing, turn off the equipment from the output if you do not use them.
  3. Comprehensive tools that are sleeping consumes 10% of electricity from general indicators of services.If you make all the values, you overload hard for simple.

Use home appliances correctly

Iron

  1. In the case of an iron, everything is simple.Begin to iron things almost immediately after turning on the device, let it gradually heat up the desired mark and perform your function.
  2. Turn the iron 10 minutes before the manipulation is completed.The only device will remain hot for this whole period, you will finish ironing according to the remaining heat principle.
  3. Try to dry the underwear by 95%, the remaining 5% provide an iron.If things are overloaded, the device will need more effort to process and cook all wrinkles.You, accordingly, spend a lot of electricity.
  4. Refuse old household appliances, prioritize modern handcuffs with an automatic locking function.When heated to a certain temperature, the indicator turns off, so electricity is stored.
  5. Choose the ironing mode taking into account the type of fabric.If you process linen or cotton, do not perform manipulations at very low temperature.You will spend more time and electricity, and wrinkles will not be completely removed.

Vacuum

  1. In order for the vacuum cleaner to consume electricity according to the stated indicators, it is necessary to shake the dust regularly and clean the existing filters.
  2. If you neglect this advice, the home appliance will exceed the permitted indicators by 20-30%.The vacuum cleaner will function with less efficiency, but more energy consumption.
  3. Household appliances of this type mostly use the light when turning off and lighting.Therefore, try not to turn off the broom after processing each room.Pull after you in a working order.

Washing machine

  1. This home appliance accounts for 15% of electricity costs.Study the manufacturer's recommendations, use all the functions of your washing machine.
  2. Choose not an hour and a half an hour, but the economic and fast washing programs.Fill the drum tightly, but avoid overload.In the latter case, a home appliance consumes 10% more electricity.
  3. Not all things should be washed at 50-60 degrees.SPEAK programs with a lower temperature and rotation.Choose the washing technology correctly (very dirty things, light cleaning, etc.).

Division system (air conditioning)

  1. The room cooling systems "eat" a lot of electricity, so they have to use them less frequently.If possible, place maximum energy 3 times a day and cool the room this way.
  2. Families with young children should not set too low temperature, so try to cool the apartment in court.Before turning on the air conditioner, make sure the windows, windows and doors are tightly closed.Eliminate potential cracks that cross warm air from the road.
  3. Before buying a separate system, measure the room in which the air conditioner will be installed.It is also important to consider the number of people in the room.Do not get high or low -power equipment.Prioritize the options in the middle.
  4. Don't forget about the planned air conditioner service.Perform filters, cartridges and fans by schedule.Complete the separate separation with the liquid while evaporating.

computer

  1. Today, personal computers are available in almost every home.This is not surprising, as the era of technological progress leaves its mark on society.
  2. PC consumes a lot of electricity, which significantly increases the average service bill.The brilliance of the monitor consumes a lot of light.If there is no need for a strong indicator, reduce it to an acceptable sign.
  3. If you do not use the computer for 1-2 hours, do not wait until the equipment is automatically turned off.Set a PC for sleep mode or disconnect at all.
  4. If you need to use a scanner, modem or printer with the birth of service, connect peripheral devices using a network filter.Always turn off equipment if not needed.
  5. New liquid crystalline screens spend less electricity than their predecessors.If possible, go to such monitors or use laptops (they consume 30% lower light).

freezer

  1. Even the child has the basic ability to use the refrigerator.There is nothing complicated in this, but adults make a lot of mistakes when installing a home appliance.
  2. For example, it is not strictly recommended to place a refrigerator on the sunny side of the kitchen, near the heating equipment and radiators, near a gas or electric stove.
  3. If there are heat sources nearby, the refrigerator will start to enter them.The camera, on the other hand, will try to maintain a sign at the right level.This will lead to high costs of light.
  4. It is also important to adhere to the temperature mark in the kitchen room.The optimal way is the indicator of 19-21 degrees.This temperature is that it will allow the refrigerator to function without unnecessary effort.
  5. Do not neglect the elementary rules for technical care.Perform a freezing, release the camera from strong pieces of ice.Change the rubber seals to the door so that the refrigerator always remains closed.
  6. Never move the technique near the wall, such action will slow down air circulation, the refrigerator will fall.Don't buy a big device if your family needs not to be so high.It passes a lot of light and in vain cools the empty space.

Heating

  1. The most powerful electricity "Eater" includes heating.To reduce the amount of energy consumed, it is necessary to insulate all windows, doors, floors, walls, etc.
  2. Of course, the two -level bright windows perfectly insulate heat.But the wooden frames pass it in the majority (about 50%).Put all the cracks with painting or ordinary tape, insulate windows with cotton wool.Similarly, it is necessary to close the doors tightly.
  3. If central heating is included, but the room is still cold, wash the pipes.You can also change the batteries with new or "build" some additional sections.With this result, it will not be necessary to light the heaters.
  4. In the event that heaters literally "eat" your family budget, learn to use other heat sources.Their role can be dried for a towel (it is connected to hot water) or a gas burner.In the latter case, you need to constantly monitor the amount of gas and periodically ventilate the room.

Electricity saving tips

How to save electricity in an apartment
  1. Wipe the chandeliers.Keep incandescent lamps and clean plants.If the dust is to constantly accumulate on them, the lighting of the room will drop a lot.You will begin to incorporate more and more light, increasing expenses.Pure chandeliers are much more efficient to disperse light, so you can use lower power incandescent lamps.
  2. Wash the windows.Perform winding winds as often as possible.Pure glasses will allow the sunlight to penetrate the apartment, so you will devote natural light.From here the need to use electricity in large quantities will disappear.In addition, the sun will warm the room in the cold season.
  3. Combine lighting equipment.Don't just use the "upper" light if you have to work on the table in the remote corner of the room.Combine chandeliers with floor lamps or desktop lamps.If the upper light includes the incandescent of 3-5 lamps, unlock the surplus, leave 2 pieces.
  4. Use modern equipment.So far, there are many devices that serve to save electricity.These include motion sensors (the light is automatically switched on and off), infrared door, light regulators with a smooth change in lighting, digital switches, a pulse staff.
  5. Change the bulbs.Conventional incandescent lamps consume 5-8 times more electricity than their fluorescent, compact and LED relatives.Replace all home lamps with energy storage.Such action will be true, as you can save about 40% a year on the account.
  6. Turn off the "extra" light.Get the habit of turning off the lamps when you get out of the room.I agree with the family, from now on you have presented the savings way.This does not mean that you have to sit in the dark for hours.There is simply no need to illuminate a room in which there is no one.This is especially true for children, the younger generation does not worry about the family budget due to age.
  7. Boil the water correctly.If you need to heat the liquid on the stove, pour hot water.Cover the dishes with the lid and faint at the desired mark.In this case, the bottom of the dishes should be tightly in contact with the combustion.As for the boiler, do not fill the entire cavity with water.Boil as much liquid as required for the creation of 2-3 tea mugs.Pour the hot water residues into a thermos, then drink it.

Look at how you use home appliances.Advise to load from nest phones, do the same with a non -work microwave, slow cooker, coffee manufacturer.Do not install the refrigerator near the radiators, simmer the water in the boiler in small portions.
