How to save electricity

To date, the largest amount of electrical energy on earth is produced from non -renewable sources (burning of oil, gas, stone and brown coal).The reserves of these fossils are not unlimited, so electricity in the foreseeable future will increase prices, unless scientists develop new cheap and very effective means of using the potential of non -traditional energy sources (sun, wind, heat of the earth and treats).

Electricity saving by optimizing its consumption

First of all, you must ask yourself if, in some cases, it is possible to completely abandon the use of electrical devices or to reduce the time of their operation.You must pay attention to the following points:

• If possible, use the day of daylight, for which to increase the maximum lighting of the room.Regular washing of windows, raised blinds, open curtains will allow you to light the lighting later, which will give the total significant savings for a month.In addition, light wallpapers or paint on the walls and the ceiling can return up to 80% of sunlight, while in the room, it is significantly lighter than during a repair made of dark colors.

• The ground bulbs and in particular the ceiling increase the output of the light from the device from 10 to 15%.If you use a clean chandelier with an open ceiling, you can screw a bulb.
• It is advisable to buy the upper chandelier with the possibility of lighting part of the bulbs separately.When visualizing a television program alone, a lamp will be sufficient and uses complete lighting upon receipt of the guests.
• Combined lighting (wall lamps, floor lamps, table lamps) does not only save electricity at home, but also a way to create the necessary atmosphere in the premises of the necessary atmosphere (company, romantic, comfortable) for all occasions.With the appropriate use of local lighting, the general can be minimized.
• Light should not burn in rooms that are not currently used.This habit with a certain effort is produced by all family members for several months.If it does not stay in the house or apartment, it is advisable to deactivate all energy consumers devices, with the exception of the refrigerator.
• The devices in standby mode do not consume as much electricity, but if you remember the number of devices of this type in the house, it will become clear that a considerable part of the energy is almost waxed.For example, an ordinary speaker system in standby mode requires 11 W / hour.
• The verification and replacement of the old wiring will not be superfluous both in terms of savings and fire safety.The number of T-shirts, adapters and extensions must be minimized, as their use leads to an increase in network resistance and energy loss to 30%.It is best to install more sockets when replacing the wiring.

How to save electricity using energy technologies

Almost all more or less decent modern companies producing household or computer equipment has trouble for energy conservation.Under electricians' prices growth conditions, this offers them competitive advantages.

The consumer of these devices only needs to carefully monitor new market offers.

• Buy electrical devices.It is necessary to be interested in the class of their energy consumption, the most economical devices in class A, A +, A ++, the least - class E, F, G. The difference between classes A and G can be double.
• However, the acquisition of an energy saving system is only half of the case.It must still be properly used.Thus, an obstructed bag in a vacuum cleaner leads to a loss of 40% electricity, approximately the same image with a refrigerator, which is covered with a layer of snow and ice.
• Insulation of an apartment or a house (replacing the windows with metal walls, walls of walls with foam or mineral insulation, door compaction, balcony and loggia glazing) will be better kept.Consequently, before the start of the heating season or with insufficiently hot batteries, powerful electric radiators can be used less or used to create a more profitable air conditioning temperature on heating.
• The easiest way to save electricity is to replace incandescent bulbs with energy bulbs.This will require a much more expensive purchase of lamps (fluorescent or economical LED), but their installation is paid fairly quickly, sometimes in a year.The luminescent economy consumes 5 times less than the usual "Ilyich lamp" and LED - more than 8 times.At the same time, economic lamps are used ten times longer.

How to save electricity at home, accurately considering its consumption

The assistant in this case can be devices that will give visual information about the energy consumed and the possibility of its more rational use.

• Electronic meter with two or three energy prices E /.Installing it will divide the energy that is consumed during the day and at night.The night rate is approximately 30% lower.This is due to the need to discharge electrical networks during peak stress hours and the transfer of part of the consumption to a "calm" time.Consequently, it is profitable for the consumer who has such a counter at a later time to use electrical cost devices (boiler, washing machine, iron, dishwasher, bread button, pressure cooker), which can be programmed for use at certain times.The counter must be legalized in the support of electricity.
• Light regulator (gradator).This device is installed in place of the switch and allows you to adjust the light of the light of the lamp.The same lamp can use a gradator to serve for general room lighting, to read, watch a TV or like a night light.There are also light regulators with remote control or the possibility of going from several points.The advantage of gradators is that they extend the lifespan of lamps, but they cannot be used with all types of lighting devices.
• Impulsive relay.It allows you to control the lighting from different places in the house, it is convenient to use when you turn off all the lighting of the room by pressing a button.
• Motion sensors.They are installed in residential and offices, as well as in yards.Light up and turn off the light in the presence or absence of movement.
• Watt meter.Allows to measure the power of consumption of each device, frequency and tension in the network.By using this information, you can take measures to save electricity.

How to save electricity at home

The most powerful devices of the house are a refrigerator and an electric stove.Often people have been using the same refrigerator for over 10 years.At the same time, technology has advanced so much during this period that the new refrigerator consumes half of the energy, so the person, saves on the purchase of a new device, constantly loses to pay the bills.

• The refrigerator should not be installed near heating plates or batteries, in poorly ventilated corners and niches - this will cause more frequent overheating and inclusion.For the same reason, it is not recommended to put a plate and pots with hot products inside the refrigerator, as well as too frequent or for a long time opening the door.In order to save money, it is also preferable to put the device to cool the average mode and lush it regularly and clean it from snow and ice.
• There are not all the houses of each house, but where it is, the direction of the cost of electricians behind it.But here there is an opportunity to save energy.The size of the dishes in which food is prepared should not be lower than the burner used, the bottom should be equal.A closed dish with a lid is prepared 20 to 30% more quickly.After boiling water, the combustion temperature is better transferred to a low -temperature diet - this will not affect the dish preparation process, but will reduce the consumption of E / Energy.
• The washing machine operates the most stable regulatory load indicated in the instructions.Incomplete overload or loading, as well as unjustified use of the preliminary washing function, increases the consumption of electricians by 10 to 30%.
• The electrician requires regular cleaning of the scale.In addition, do not boil the complete kettle for the future, enough water to prepare a cup of tea.
• Light air conditioning only with closely closed windows and doors, so as not to cool the street, select the device according to the technical characteristics corresponding to the part which must be cooled.There are models of converter air conditioners with 50%reduced electricians.

This is only part of the advice on how to save electricity.In more detail, they can be found in other section articles.However, we must not forget that the safeguarding of resources does not support their own portfolio, but also the preservation of the environment for children and grandchildren.

Every 100 generatures of electrical energy means burned 33 liters of oil, or 48 kilograms of coal, or 35 cubic meters of natural gas.If we add to that the problem of pollution by nature from harmful emissions, it becomes clear that the use and savings of electricity are not only the private question of each consumer, but also the global problem of all humanity.
