Anyone who runs a household, deals with the problems of everyday life, knows perfectly well how often they don’t get enough money for something that is outside their required category!
Every housewife wants to save some money, especially if the family budget is already small.
Let’s try to reduce our electricity bill a bit and see what the result is.
It seems like a small thing, but in fact, with a sensible approach to saving electricity in your home, you can free up significant funds by knowing a few tricks.
Remember to turn off electrical appliances
For example, a TV. The old model's models with a picture tube consume about 100 watts of power during operation - 2 watts when turned off. The latest plasma and LCD TVs require more than 400 watts to operate and 4 watts to standby. Press the corresponding button on the remote control to switch to standby mode. Don't be too lazy to click in time!
DVD player. It can be turned off completely if it is a new generation. When turned off, such a player saves all its settings, even the date and time, and resets the next time you connect to the network. But there are tools that are recommended to leave it on standby for one night. This is important for the software updates you receive.
Computer. It can be maintained if you work closely on it during the day at home. If you have left your workplace, it is better to turn off the monitor as well. Auxiliary equipment, such as scanners and printers, should always be turned off after working with them.
Charger. The charger does not consume much power when recharging a phone or other device. But when charging is complete, it needs to be unplugged because it continues to consume electricity and doesn’t go so little in a day.
Here are some more tricks to save power
It is very profitable to replace Iljics bulbs throughout the house with new energy-saving bulbs that consume much less energy. And in an empty room, be sure to turn off the lights, even if you leave them for 10 minutes. For some reason, many people believe that frequent clicking of the switch will negatively affect the life of the bulb, as overvoltage will occur. These guesses have no real basis. Always turn off the light behind you to save money.
Washing machine. Wash the laundry at a lower temperature, 30-40 degrees instead of 60 in color, 90 instead of 60 in white. In most cases, there will be no difference in washing quality and the energy savings will be noticeable. For better washing, high-quality powders are no longer used, but with high water temperatures. Also, try to switch as little as possible to the drying mode.
Try to follow these simple guidelines for at least a month and make your family aware of the need to save energy. And at the end of the month, look at the counter and draw an analogy with past releases. Are you convinced? Then let energy saving in your apartment become a habit.
