How to save electricity

So far, the largest electrical energy on Earth has been produced from irreplaceable sources (oil burning, gas, stone and brown coal).The reserves of these fossils are unlimited, so electricity in the near future will increase, unless scientists develop new and highly effective ways to use the potential of unconditional energy sources (sun, wind, heat of the earth and treat).

Save electricity by optimizing its consumption

First of all, you should think about whether in some cases you can completely abandon the use of electrical equipment or reduce their operating time.You need to pay attention to the following points:

  • If possible, use daytime, to increase the maximum lighting of the room.Washing windows regularly, lifting curtains, open blinds will allow you to turn on the rear light, in the total will provide notable savings in a month.In addition, the wallpaper or painting on the wall and ceiling can return up to 80% of sunlight, while in the room, it is significantly lighter than during repair with dark colors.
    • Save electricity with different lamps
  • The ground lights and especially the ceiling increase the light production of the device to 10-15%.If you use a clean chandelier with an open plafon, you can twist a light bulb.
  • The chandelier should be purchased with the ability to turn on a part of the light bulb.When watching a television program alone, a light will be enough and use light completely when receiving guests.
  • The combination of light (sconces on the wall, floor lamp, table lamp) not only saves electricity at home, but also is a way to create the necessary atmosphere in the campus of the necessary atmosphere (business, romance, comfort) for all occasions.With the right use of local light, general can be minimized.
  • Light should not burn in rooms that are not used.This habit with a certain effort is produced by all family members for several months.If there is no one in the house or apartment, it is advisable to turn off all energy consumption equipment, except for the refrigerator.
  • The equipment in standby mode does not consume too much electricity, but if you remember how many such devices in the house, it is clearly a significant part of the energy used almost wasted.For example, a regular speaker system in standby mode requires 11 W/hour.
  • Checking and replacing the old wiring system will not be redundant in terms of saving and fire safety.The number of TEES, the adapter and extension should be minimized, as their use leads to the increase in the network and loss of energy to 30%.It is better to install a few more sockets when replacing the wiring.

How to save electricity by using energy -saving technologies

Almost all modern companies are more or less producing household equipment or computers who are struggling to conserve energy.In terms of electrician growth, this gives them a competitive advantage.

Consumers of these devices only need to carefully monitor new market incentives.

  • Buy electrical equipment.It is necessary to pay attention to their energy consumption layer, the most economic devices of type A, A+, A ++, at least - Class E, F, G. The difference between class A and G can be double.
  • However, the acquisition of an energy -saving device is only half.It still needs to be operated correctly.Therefore, a clogged bag in a vacuum cleaner losing 40% of electricity, approximately the same picture with a refrigerator, inside is covered with a layer of snow and ice.
  • The insulation of an apartment or house (replacing metal windows, walls of foam walls or heat, compressing doors, glasses of balconies and loggia) will retain heat better.As a result, before starting the heating season or with the battery is not warm enough, the powerful electric heater can be used less or used to create a more comfortable temperature when air conditioning is beneficial when heating.
  • The easiest way to save electricity is to replace incandescent bulbs with energy -saving light bulbs.This will require a once more expensive purchase of lights (energy -saving fluorescent or LED lights), but their installation will decrease quite quickly, sometimes within a year.The "luminescent economy" consumes 5 times less than the usual "ilyich lamp" and LED lights - more than 8 times.At the same time, economic lights serve ten times longer.

How to save electricity at home, consider exactly its consumption

The assistant in this matter may be that devices will provide visual information about energy consumption and more reasonable use.

  • Electronic meter two or three taxes of E/Energy.Installing it will allow energy division consumed during the day and night.Night tariffs are about 30%lower.This is due to the need to unload electrical networks during peak tensions and switch consumption to calm time.Therefore, it is profitable for consumers to have such a counter then to use electric equipment (boilers, washing machines, iron, dishwasher, bread button, pressure cooker), can be programmed for use at certain hours.The counter must be legalized in the company and the electricity company.
  • Light -Regulator (Dimmer).This device is installed instead of the switch and can adjust the brightness of the light of the lamp.The same lamp can use a brightness regulator to serve to light up the room, to read, watch TV or like a nightlight.There is also a light regulator with remote control or the ability to convert from some points.The advantage of the brightness regulator is that they extend the life of the lamp, but they cannot be used with all types of lighting devices.
  • The relay promotes.It allows you to control the light from different places in the house, it is convenient to use when you turn off all the light in the room by pressing a button.
  • Movement sensor.They are installed in residential and office facilities, as well as in yards.Turn and turn off the light in the presence or absence of motion.
  • Wattmeter household.Make it measure the power of the consumption of each device, frequency and voltage in the network.Using this information, you can take measures to save electricity.

How to save electricity at home

The strongest equipment in the house is refrigerator and electric stove.Usually people have used the same refrigerator for more than 10 years.At the same time, this technology has walked forward this time that the refrigerator only consumes half of the energy, so people, save when buying a new device, constantly losing the bill.

  • The refrigerator should not be installed near the heating panels or batteries, in the corners and poor ventilation cavities - this will lead to overheating and include more often.For the same reason, do not place a plate and pot with hot products inside the refrigerator, as well as too often or for a long time of opening.To save money, it is better to put the device to cool the moderate regime and regularly defrost and clean it from snow and ice.
  • There is no house in every house, but that place, the leadership of the costs of the electricians behind it.But there is an opportunity to save energy.The size of the dishes in which the food is prepared should not be smaller than the burner used, the bottom should be even.A dish closed with lid is prepared faster than 20-30%.After boiling water, the burning temperature is best transferred to the low temperature mode - this will not affect the preparation of food, but will reduce the consumption of E/Energy.
  • The most stable washing machine operates in the specified load specified in the instructions.Overload or incomplete load, as well as use unjustly washing function, increasing the consumption of electricians from 10 to 30%.
  • Electrician requires regular scale cleaning.In addition, do not boil the kettle full for the future, enough water to make a cup of tea.
  • Turn on the air conditioner with only windows and doors to close, so as not to cool the street, choose the device according to the specifications corresponding to the room that needs cooling.There are models of the air conditioner converted with electricians by 50%.

This is only part of tips on how to save electricity.More detailed, they can be found in other articles of the section.However, we should not forget that saving resources not only takes care of their own wallets but also preserves the environment for children and grandchildren.

Each 100 watting electrical energy means burning 33 liters of oil, or 48 kg of coal, or 35 meters of natural gas.If we add a natural pollution from harmful emissions, it is clear that the use and saving electricity is not only a private question of each consumer, but also a global problem for both humanity.
