The whole of our day to day life, it is associated with a variety of appliances, we provide a level of comfort. But, unfortunately, the environment of their use is low. So, today, there is a very pressing issue to reduce the cost of electricity.
The saving in electricity will reduce the consumption of natural resources are not infinite, and for the reduction of emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere, and thus to contribute to the conservation of our rivers, lakes, and forests. And, of course, the amount of energy savings that will significantly reduce utility costs, and this is very important, as the prices are continually on the rise.
And if everyone starts to conserve energy in your home, it will be of benefit to not only him, but also to the whole of the country.
Energy-efficient tips
Before you can start to save money with electrical energy, you'll need to determine what household appliances use the most electricity, and have the right to exploit them.
The fridge
One of the major consumers of electricity in the house. The refrigerator operates continuously, providing a breath of fresh air, and safety from contamination of food products. However, if it is applied properly, the electrical energy will be used more than it is necessary.
Business advice
Properly install refrigerator. It should not be near the stove or in the battery pack, and on the Sunny side, it will start to work harder and increases energy consumption significantly. There is no need for it to be placed close to a wall, it will prevent air circulation and cause overheating.
Watch the temperature display on the fridge. If it is switched on practically without stopping, you need to have a less chilly way. It did not have an impact on the shelf life of the product, however, it would be helpful to save the electricity. This is the food that spoils quickly, it is better to place it on the wall of the refrigerator, where the temperature is lower.
Defrosting something, do it well in advance: remove the frozen product from the freezer and put it in the fridge, on the top shelf, which will be products "assistance" to the operation of the refrigerator, saving electricity.
Do not put hot food in the refrigerator and leave the door open, you try to do this it is often not open. All of this leads up to the fact that they will be more likely to participate in, and consume more power.
Regularly defrost the fridge. The ice in the fridge is not cold, but rather acts as an insulator. Thus, the refrigerator should be defrosting, to prevent the formation of ice in the "fur."
Electric
One of the most wasteful products. This is a long period of time, it heats up and cools down, the energy is more intense. Therefore, the proper management of the kiln as one of the main ways of saving energy. And cooking, can be a significant savings.
Business advice
Don't put it on the stove, and the refrigerator in the kitchen nearby. You will receive a significant increase in utility costs due to empty loss of power to the additional cooling device and the heating of the other one.
How to cook your own food on a low heat. In most cases, the performance of heating is required. Commonly the fluid it is merely necessary to bring to a boil, and then cook your food on low heat. Use the residual heat of the burners, turn off the stove for about 10 minutes, until the cooked food.
Use a container with a bottom, which is equal to, or slightly exceeds the diameter of the burner device. Do not use devices reduce the amount of, and to prevent it "conditions the air".
The bottom of the pan, and the pan needs to be smooth and tight to the ring. Cookware with rough bottoms can cause excess energy consumption by 40-60%.
When cooking, keep the pan with a lid, so you don't lose the extra heat. When cooking with an open lid in the consumption of electricity increases on the two-and-a-half times. And even if the lid is slightly open, the movement of the electricians, which is even more than that when it is closed.
When cooking the vegetables, pour in the pan with less water. Its not necessary to completely cover it with water. And below the water.
The heating of the food, and, in some cases, and cook in a microwave oven is cost-effective. It uses less electricity. In addition to this, the food is cooked more quickly.
Washing (drying) machine
Thanks to a powerful engine and lots of speed, a washing machine consumes a lot of electricity. There is a selection of the machines, just like any other device, select the equipment class of a. since the energy consumption is most economical.
Business advice
macerari the clothes before washing. Of dirt quickly it will be starting in the laundry, and it should not be machine washed a number of times.
Use a full load in the machine. When you load the tank of the washing machine is only half of the 50% of your spending is wasted. But the overload of the machine, also it is not necessary. Too much of the Laundry as a load, leads to additional costs for utilities.
Wash at 30°C instead of 40°C allows to save 40% of energy consumption. The quality of washing remains the same, because modern washing powders are designed to be efficient to wash your clothes at low temperatures. Don't buy too much-foaming detergents to clean the device.
The excessive use of the drying mode may also be a factor in the inefficient use of electricity.
Remove the clothes out of the dryer slightly damp. This will improve the drapability of textile fabrics and to facilitate Ironing. And by the way, it's too dry or too wet, the linen need to be ironed more than a little wet, which means that there is more power.
The dishwasher
It would be helpful to get a very economical method of water supply. For example, the washing of the 12 – to 14 sets of dishes in the machine, you will need a 14-18 gallons of water while hand washing is about 60 litres.
Business advice
Use a full load in the machine.
The clean dishes out of the big impurities before loading it into the car.
If your machine has a half load mode, and use it to wash small amounts of dishes.
TV
Modern Tv's are characterized by their low power consumption, however, take into account the basic rules of their application, will further reduce the power consumption.
Business advice
If you are using your TV to listen to music, turn off the image.
Always try to turn off the TV when you leave the room for 5 to 10 minutes to complete. Don't let the TV was wasted, it was used as a background sound.
The computer
Computers consume an incredible amount of energy, more and more often, they are required to stay on for several days. So, if you have the option to choose, it would be better to use a laptop instead of a pc - it's much more economical.
Business advice
Use the energy-saving mode of the computer – it is in any other operating system.
It makes no sense to constantly turn on and turn off the computer, when using during the day. This has a negative impact on its performance. However, during the breaks, the switching off of the computer screen.
Peripheral equipment such as printers and scanners, should be integrated into the network only when they are needed.
The heater.
In the cold season, it is the main consumer of electrical energy. Not only it consumes a lot of electricity, but dry, air. If the heat of conventional heating systems is not enough, then think about additional options to protect against the cold.
Tips to keep the heat in the house
You can seal the cracks and holes in the house, in which the duration of the heat insulated floor and Windows, wash the old battery from corrosion, or to install an additional.
It is possible to install plastic Windows. To stay for approximately twenty per cent of the heat in the room. This means that the heater you use does not have or include much less common.
Properly ventilate the room. This should be done even during the disconnection of the heating. We constantly open the box, to surprise, to be cool, but not to the air of the room. Use of full ventilation - for a few minutes, wide open all of the Windows. The air, it's time to be replaced, and the areas that are in the area, it will stay warm. This will reduce heat loss and don't add a heater to bring the heat. And, by the way, is to turn off the heater at the time of airing.
Here are a few additional tips to save electricity
The use of the apparatus of a class.
When buying appliances, choose energy-saving models marked a, a, A, A+, A++.
Do not leave electrical appliances in standby mode
Do not leave the device connected to the TV, the microwave, light bulbs, appliances, and other devices. Also, in the standby mode, the devices consume energy.
Use of the residual heat of the apparatus,
For example, iron is stored residual heat that will continue for a few minutes of Ironing. Ironing board with a Heat Reflector is also a great way to save money with electrical energy.
Turn off the oven for a few minutes, until the cooked food. To the left of the on / off switch of the burner to the food itself, it goes to the standby mode.
The use of interior lighting solutions,
If you use the bright color to the interior, reducing the amount of energy needed for lighting. If the floor and the walls, to the light, and they will help to visually expand the space and improve the value of the illumination. For example, a smooth white wall reflects 80% of sun rays, the dark-green surface produces only 15% of the light, black – 9 %
Don't neglect the natural light
The use of solar power is one of the most important reserve of economy of the electric power. In the end, the house they prefer light-colored walls and curtains. Don't mess up the Windows-something that would not interfere with the penetration of light into the room. By the way, the "dirty" Windows to take up to 25% of the light. In order to avoid wasting resources on unnecessary lighting, to keep the glass constantly clean.
Use the energy-saving apparatus for lighting system
Change light bulbs to energy-saving or led light bulbs. They consume electricity at times less than traditional incandescent bulbs, and last much, much longer.
And, by the way, is the restriction of the use of interior lighting in brushed and tinted glass. Blinding light, forced to use light bulbs with greater power.
To use the zone lighting
The installation of the in-room some of the lights above lounge chair for reading near the bed, writing/computer Desk.

Clean lighting fixtures from dust and dirt
Over a period of time, the lamp, the screen of the monitor or the TV set, which is formed in the dust pan, because of the light that is emitted from them, it begins to fade. In order to avoid a waste of electrical energy, for this reason, the laundering at regular intervals, from the surface, the light of the body is usually wash the shades in the lamps and chandeliers.
