The topic of electricity savings excites many.People continue to look for all known (and still unknown) possibilities that make it more efficient.Today we will share effective ways.
Of course, some of these methods are obvious, and many have been used for a long time, but the resulting information that has been obtained and are available in the form of a small instructions for careful power consumption.
Method 1. Do we really need so much light?

All statistics that claim that 14% of all streams generated are output for lighting.But do we always use this incredible amount of additional energy without harming ourselves?How do you learn how to do it right?
These simple tips can help you:
- Use as much electrical light as possible.We do not ask you to return in primitive times if people only have one day of the day (although this is undoubtedly useful for our health: the doctors have proven that an active lifestyle and artificial lighting are chronic fatigue, depression and a tightening of chronic diseases).
- Do not forget that the degree of lighting the room is affected by how many lighting devices are contaminated.It is clear that the plafon in the kitchen, which has not been washed for several months, is covered with a layer of dust and fat and it is very bad to pass the light.And pure lighting devices significantly illuminate the room, which means that they can use light bulbs.
- Don't forget clean windows.Natural light and sunlight not only postpone the time to switch on the lighting devices, but also to heat your room in the cold season.
- For example, it can be used in the combination of the room so as not to switch on all lamps in the chandelier at the same time or switch on in combination: a table lamp (floor lamp) and 1-2 lamps from a chandelier.
- Modern energy storage devices can help in the Economy of Electricity: dimmers (rotary light regulators that change the level of light smoothly), motion sensors, pulse relay, digital switch.A construction automatic switch -off system works very effectively in the entrance.
- We use energy -saving lights (compact fluorescence, LEDs).
- And very simple - turn off the light when you leave the room (in fact this is probably the most difficult - in many houses there is a constant "war" because everyone forgets to switch off the light).
A little about the advantages of energy storage lamps:
- More effective power consumption (compared to incandescent lamps with an energy destruction 4-5 times less).
- Large light exit: an energy -saving light bulb with a capacity of 12 W in relation to the light intensity corresponds to approximately 60 watts of an ordinary incandescent lamp.
- No thermal energy is radiated in large quantities (this property can be used in small lighting devices) and distributes the light more evenly and gently (the usual light bulb is no more than 10% of the energy used in light and the rest in thermal).
- The lifespan of energy that prohibits light bulbs is usually longer.Although it does not always correspond to the lifespan of the declared manufacturer.
The latter is sometimes due to the fact that we do not use some types of energy storage properly.Most of the time they burn in places where they are used for a short time and in which the mode is changed very often: "switched on" - "out".

If you make a gradual replacement of light bulbs, it is best to start with rooms in which the onions work for a long time.In addition, frequent voltage sword on the Internet, high or vice versa, influence working hours.It should be taken into account that some energy -saving lamps (fluorescent) cannot be used in devices with adaptation of the lighting brightness.
Over time, we all have to switch entirely to the light bulbs stored with energy, since the law on energy saving determines that incandescent lamps are completely removed from the circulation and replaced by more economic light sources.It is therefore better to start this in advance, as the replacement of all lamps is immediately replaced.
The undoubtedly-free disadvantage of energy-saving light bulbs is still high costs (although they are already much cheaper than 3-4 years ago), not always good quality and that we are unfortunately missing points for the reception of lamps (and such savings for us and ecology are very dangerous).
Well, if you cannot replace the ordinary energy sub -lamps, use at least smaller lamps.
Method 2. Multi -Tatriff -meter
Of course, the question of using Multi -Tatriff measuring devices is not clear.However, if we take into account that some household appliances work around the clock (refrigerator) or almost constantly in "sleeping" mode (television, computer), this can not only be advantageous for fans of work at night at night.
In addition, modern Multi -Tatriff -Messer -Tärte devices take the electricity into account much more precisely than induction.
Method 3. Useful savings
Let us first think about whether we use household appliances correctly?
The result of these thoughts for many of us will be disappointing.It has already been proven by experts that household appliances often consume much more electricity than they need for normal operation.
As we have already found out, many household appliances (microwaves, television, power supply, audio and video devices, hot water operators, computers, air conditioning systems and a dozen other devices) consume electricity not only in the state of work, but also in "waiting" mode or, as we often say, in "sleep" mode.
Each of these devices consumes a lot of electricity separately.However, if you summarize the consumption of all devices that work in our apartments in our apartments, no small amounts for payment on accounts will receive at all.
For example, working hours in the "Waiting" mode for the average for the television are 19 hours for the microwave 23.8 hours for a compact display report of 23 hours a day.
As a result, this is 5-10% of the total power consumption in the apartment.
And what is the way out?And the output is very simple.Always switch off devices from the outlet that are not used.
Method 4. Miracle of technology

Obviously for everyone: You can't save much with an old refrigerator or television.Household appliances that were produced 15 to 20 years ago consume electricity 2 times more.
A way out of this situation: to buy modern energy -efficient household appliances.How can I find out how energy -efficient this or this device is?
To do this, carefully examine the energy efficiency marking, which should be on household appliances.It has letter signs from A (the highest class of energy efficiency) to G (the lowest).
In modern devices, electricity consumption is also much lower in “waiting” mode than in outdated models.
As an indicate example of energy -efficient technology, such as "intelligent" dishwasher or washing machines that automatically dose cleaning agents, water consumption, select the desired regime.According to experts, such devices consume 44% less energy and 62% water than outdated models from the late 90s.
It is not worth convincing the advantages of modern technology.But what can not everyone afford to replace the old household appliances with a new (normally expensive)?How can I reduce electricity costs in this case?
Method 5. We use what we have
Refrigerator
Everyone knows how to use the refrigerator.Nevertheless, we stubbornly continue to put it next to the batteries, the stove or near the wall on the sunny side.
However, it is obvious that the refrigerator for effective work consumes more electricity.
In addition, it is desirable that in the room in which the refrigerator is not hot (approx. 18 to 20 degrees), the refrigerator should be thawed regularly and released from the ice, checked its sealing (sealing on the doors of the refrigerator), not near the wall to get better air circulation.
In addition, you shouldn't buy a large refrigerator just because it is fashionable or is the same with a neighbor in the kitchen (proceed from the number of family members and your needs).The larger the refrigerator, the more it consumes energy.
Vacuum cleaner
For the normal operation of a vacuum cleaner with less power consumption, it must be cleaned regularly with accumulated dust (dirty consumed 15 to 20% more) and take into account that the current is used the most when switching on and off (if you vacuum the small space, try not to switch off too often).
Electrical stove
An electrical stove consumes a lot of electricity.How can I reduce electricity costs in this case?
- Do not warm up the oven in advance if this is not intended for a recipe for cooking a court.
- Use the fireplace of the fireplace (switch off 5-10 minutes before cooking).
- Close the pots with a lid.
- Do not use excess water when cooking vegetables and eggs.
- Use good dishes with a flat floor and the size of the burner.
- Use the print cook.
- Use an electric kettle (it consumes less electricity than an electric oven) while buying an electric kettle for the whole family, and pour into as much water as you use it.
- Use a microwave oven and toaster, where you can cook a delicious and crispy dish in just a few minutes than in the oven.However, this is much faster and therefore more economical.
washing machine
The washing machine outputs up to 15% of the house current.Use all the possibilities of economic electricity consumption provided by the instructions for your washing machine:
- Fast and economic washing modes.
- Complete load, but without overload (excessive load increases power consumption to 10%).
- Lower temperature (not always should be washed at high temperature).
- Correctly selected operating mode of the machine.
iron
- Here you can also use the principle of residual heat, i.e. switch off the iron 5-10 minutes before the end of the iron.
- Do not dry a linen: To stroke it, you have to spend more time and therefore use more electricity.
- Unexpected linen also requires additional power consumption.
- Use iron with an automatic shutdown function.
- Use modes to iron different fabric types correctly.
Air conditioning
- Set the temperature that is sufficient to cool the room properly.
- Before switching on, make sure that all windows and doors are closed.
- When buying a air conditioning system, focus on the size of the room and the number of people who will be in it.The device that is designed for a large area will simply be "eat" without benefits.
- Regularly clean fan and filter.
computer
Almost everyone has computers today and not even one in the family.And it is clear that this significantly increases electricity costs.
What can we do?
- Reduce the brightness of the monitor (this affects energy consumption).
- Switch off the computer if you don't use it for a long time.
- Switch on all peripheral devices (scanner, printer, modems) via the network filter and always switch it off when these devices do not work.
- If possible, use liquid crystalline monitors.
- Use a laptop more often (it "eats" less energy than a stationary computer).
Heating
The cold on the street and at home causes us to get the heaters from the storage chambers.There are no warmth in the house?What to do?Hurt and hesitate to get sick.So you have to include "eaters" electricity.
In order to somehow shorten the use time of the heating, you have to insulate everything that is possible: windows, walls, floors, etc. Of course, plastic windows make this task good.Well, if the windows are common, try to close all the cracks and cracks in the window frame.It disappears up to 50% heat.The same must be done with the front doors.
And if the central heating is already switched on, is it still cold?
There can be many reasons.In some cases, the easy washing of old batteries, replacing or increasing heat transfer due to the increase with additional sections can be helpful.
Try not to use the heaters if possible so as not to use, they are very "insatiable".
As an option of an additional heat source in the apartment, you can also consider a heated towel rail that is connected to the hot water supply.
Interesting about the same

There is a very useful device.It's called "Household Watt Meter".
Why is it needed?It will help save electricity.With the help of this small device you can learn many interesting things about the work of your household appliances and generally about the power expenditure in the house.
For example:
- How much overpaid a computer that is not switched off all day?
- How much electricity does your refrigerator consume and is it time to change it in a new one?
- How much electricity is used when you wash the dishes in the dishwasher, wash your laundry, stroke or do you dry your hair?
- How much energy does your television use in off status?
You will receive an answer to all of these and many other questions and also find out how much electricity has been spent on without benefits and what you can really save.
Obviously it is not that difficult to save electricity.The main obstacle is likely to exist in us.As soon as we realize that for us it is first of all profitable to waste electricity in vain - we will be successful.
