To reduce power consumption by at least a quarter of the absolutely real. Turn off the lights, wash the Windows, do not overload the washing machine replace incandescent bulbs with... Calculations showed that it is really useful.
Don't waste light waste
- Turn off the light, going from one room to another. Install heat-motion sensors, which turn off the lights for you.
- Use local lighting: lighting, floor lamps, wall lamps. For example, each time does not take the main light source in the room is better to set the backlight led strips.
- Remember that cleanliness — the guarantee of savings. Dirty Windows and dusty diffusers reduce the light level in the room 35%.
- When repairing, consider that the bright walls and furniture reflect up to 80% of the light and dark — only about 12%.
- Change incandescent lamps to energy saving led. Replacing just one bulb will save about 1 000 a year.
Properly use electrical equipment
- Because the two-tariff electricity meter, turn off all unnecessary electrical appliances in the evenings and on the charger after fully charging your devices.
- The refrigerator should be thawed regularly, if there is no specific system No Frost. Make sure that the device was so far away from heating devices and to ensure natural ventilation of the rear wall. Put only cold food!
- Monitor the performance of the burners with an electric plate and put them in just the right size cookware with a flat bottom.
- Cover pots and pans with lids: they reduce heat loss by nearly three times.
- Do not overload the washing machine (overload increases the electricity consumption by up to 10%) and the average temperature. Wash at 30 degrees spent 35% less energy than washing at 40 degrees.
- Use an electric kettle instead of electric stoves to heat water. It is much more affordable. Boil only the amount of liquid, which is needed at the moment.
- Clean fans and air filters.
- Things that require low temperature, iron the garment after turning off the iron.
- Don't leave appliances, such as microwave ovens, tvs, computers, scanners, printers, modems, the standby mode. This will allow you to save more than 200 kWh per year.
- Use a socket with a timer.
Buy energy efficient appliances
- All electrical equipment is marked with the Latin letters A-G. Choose the technique where low energy class, marked A and B.
- Buy equipment that uses the latest technology, which saves energy. For example, the increasingly popular induction cooktop, which heats only the bottom of the container and consume the power in vain. The efficiency of such plates up to 95%!
Install two-tariff meter
Two-tariff meter allows you to record at night. Such counters are useful for those who can use energy-intensive appliances: the dishwasher and washing machine, bread maker — 23: 00-7: 00 am. On average, the meter will pay for itself in a year.
Don't waste the heat in vain
- Instead of the traditional heaters use the air conditioning set to heating mode. If it allows the manufacturer to, of course. Many air conditioners can not be used at negative temperatures.
- The ir-heater is more advantageous than the other 30-80%.
- If the house has a electric battery, trying to keep them clean so that dust does not absorb the heat, and you don't need to increase the temperature.
- Using warm water heater reduce hot water temperature.
- Replace water heater with tankless. So you don't need to waste electricity to keep the temperature of the water.
- Heat water only when needed. Disconnect the boiler from the mains when you leave the house and at night.
- Every three months clean the water heater in the scale, which increases the energy consumption by 15-20%.
- Disconnect the device from the mains and close the water tap.
- Completely drain the water.
- Remove the lid on the pan, gently disconnect the wires and remove the thermostat.
- Loosen the nuts holding the flange. Push the flange up, turn and pull out.
- You can now clean the heating element with a wire brush. To get rid of plaque and help in acetic acid and hot water (1 : 5). Put the heater on for 30 minutes and make sure that the seal is not in contact with the acid.
