As they say, "the economy must be economical", so today I want to talk about how to save electricity. Why do I need this? - If you ask. And just try to count all the electrical appliances in the apartment you use. How many of them did you get? Five? On? twenty? Yes, you were probably surprised by this amount. Let's see who thinks more. Include your calculations and a list of devices in the comments. Let's see who has more!
In the past, ordinary people's homes had very few electrical appliances. At first there was a pear, which is not recommended to eat, that is, a lamp. By the way, we are still talking about electricity: "I have to pay for electricity", as if only light bulbs were working in our apartments. But that time has passed. Tape recorders, TVs in families. . . computers. . . microwave ovens. . . iPhone, iPad, iPod, iPad and other electric ai-eaters began to appear.
Why we need to save electricity
The first reason: it costs money, and the money will be useful not only for us to pay for electricity.
The second reason: to obtain electricity, as a rule, certain natural resources are spent. We, the people, the consumers are still the same: we get resources, but we do not replenish them. Then let's at least save money.
How to save electricity
Here are some tips on how to save energy. So let's go!
- Used - turned off. Teach yourself and your family members to turn off electrical appliances they no longer need. For example, do not turn on the lights wherever possible when you are at home or in the apartment. Remember to turn off unnecessary lighting sources. The same can be said for a television or a computer. Don't leave them "anyway". This "anyway" will then go into your pocket along with a receipt for utility payments. In addition, there is a study that claims that most of the electrical devices in standby mode consume a lot of electricity. Sometimes the difference between waiting and working to consume is about the same. At this point, try to separate the unnecessary.
- Use daylight. Many people turn on an unusual electric light, even if it is still bright enough outside. Try to break this habit.
- Energy saving lamps. This is another opportunity to save energy. They use several times less electricity than incandescent bulbs. The service life of such lamps (not fake) is five to seven times longer than usual. There are still many questions about the use of energy-saving lamps.
- A day and night meter, or rather a two-tariff meter, will save a lot of money. If you have already installed, switch to a nocturnal lifestyle. Joke! But you can still change something. For example, why not start the washing machine at night, then it will turn off by itself. If you like to iron everything in your wardrobe, from sheets to lace, you can do it to save on the movement of a cheap tariff. So what do you think.
- Save electricity when using electrical appliances. Do you cook sausages in an electric oven? Why pour water into a large pot. Also when boiling water in an electric kettle. You need a cup of tea, do not boil a full teapot. Do not allow the iron to heat up. Modern irons, as a rule, are ready for use within 30 seconds - one minute after start-up. And you can turn off the iron a few minutes before the end of the work. It cools longer than when heated. Refrigerator. If you do not put hot pots in it, it will consume less electricity. Also, try to place the refrigerator away from radiators.
Thus, tips are obtained. But if you do not implement them, it will be of little use. Try to use at least a few of them as soon as possible. Then don't forget to compare the meter readings.
