Reduce electricity consumption at least by a quarter, it is absolutely real. You pay light, wash the windows, do not overload the washing machine, the typewriter, replace the bulbs... Calculations have shown that it is really convenient.
Don't waste light unnecessarily
- You pay light, moving from room to room. Install the thermal motion sensors that will turn the light off for you.
- Use local lighting: lighting, floor lamps, sconces. For example, to every time are among the main sources of light in the room is better to install the backlight of the led strip.
- Do not forget that cleanliness — the guarantee of savings. Dirty windows and dusty lamp reduce the light level in the room up to 35%.
- During the repair of consider what on bright walls and furniture will reflect up to 80% of the luminous flux, and the dark — only about 12%.
- Replace light bulbs for energy-saving and led. Replacing only one bulb will give you a saving of around 1 000 czk per year.
Use with electrical appliances
- In the absence of the two-tariff counter of the electric power, disconnect all non-essential electrical appliances at night and the charger — after a full recharge of the device.
- The fridge must be regularly to defrost, if there is no special system of No Frost. Make sure that the unit stood as far away from heating devices and provided natural ventilation of the rear wall. Put into it only cooled the dishes!
- Watch the performance of the burners of electric stoves and give them just the suitable size of the cookware with a flat bottom.
- Cover the pot and pan covers: reduce the loss of heat almost three times.
- Try not to overload the washing machine (excessive load increases the electricity consumption by up to 10%) and use the high temperature regime. For washing at 30 degrees is spent on 35% less energy than washing at 40 degrees.
- Use the electric kettle instead of electric stoves for heating water. So it will be much more effective. Do not boil, just the volume of liquid that you need at the moment.
- Regularly spend cleaning the fans and filters air conditioning.
- Things that require low temperatures, Pat after turning off the irons.
- Do not leave appliances, including microwave, tvs, computers, scanners, printers, modems, in the standby mode. It will save you more than 200 kw per year.
- Use the electrical outlet with a timer.
Buy energy saving home appliances
- All electrical appliances are labelled with Latin letters from a+++ to G. Choose a technique with a low class energy consumption, labeled a and B.
- Buy devices, which use the latest technology to save electricity. For example, the more popular they become the induction cooking panel, heating only the bottom of the dishes, and not consuming energy unnecessarily. The EFFECTIVENESS of such plates reaches up to 95%!
Set the two-tariff counter
Two-tariff counter allows you to save in the night. These counters are preferred by who can use energy-intensive household appliances: the dishwasher and washing machine, bread maker — from 23.00 to 7.00. On average, the counter returns for the year.
Do not waste heat unnecessarily
- Instead of the traditional heaters use the conditioning set to heating mode. If it allows the manufacturer, of course. Many air conditioners can not be used at negative temperatures.
- Infrared heating is more economical than the others on 30-80%.
- If the house installed electric battery, try not include clean to dust does not absorb part of the heat, and you need to raise the temperature regime.
- The use of the water heater, lower the temperature of the heating water.
- Replace a water heater on the cloak. So you won't waste energy on the constant maintenance of a certain temperature of water.
- Heat water only when needed. Disconnect the boiler from the electrical socket when it is out of the house and at night.
- Every three months clean the water heater from scale, which increases the consumption of electrical energy by 15-20%.
- Disconnect the device from the mains and close the water supply.
- Completely drain the water.
- Remove the cover of the boiler, disconnect the wires and remove the thermostats.
- Loosen the nuts holding the flange. Push the flange up, turn and pull out.
- Now you can clean the heating element with a wire brush. To get rid of plaque and will help acetic acid solution and warm water (1 : 5). Just give her a POLE for 30 minutes and make sure that the sealing rubber is not touched with the acid.
