How to save electricity

To date, the greatest amount of electrical energy on Earth occurs from non -renewable sources (burning of oil, gas, stone and brown coal).The reserves of these fossils are not unlimited, so electricity in the predictable future will increase in the price, unless scientists develop new economic and highly effective forms to use the potential of non -traditional energy sources (sun, wind, heat of the earth and sweets).

Electricity savings optimizing its consumption

First, you should think if in some cases it is possible to completely abandon the use of appliances or reduce the time of your operation.You should pay attention to the following points:

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

• Earth bulbs and especially the roof increase the light outlet from the device by 10-15%.If you use a clean spider lamp with an open placon, you can screw a bulb.
• It is advisable to buy the upper spider lamp with the possibility of activating part of the bulbs separately.Seeing only a television program, a lamp will be enough and use complete lighting when receiving guests.
• Combined lighting (appliques on the walls, floor lamps, table lamps) not only saves electricity at home, but also a way to create the necessary atmosphere in the facilities of the necessary atmosphere (business, romantic, comfortable) for all occasions.With the proper use of local lighting, the general can be minimized.
• The light should not burn in the rooms that are not currently used.This habit with a certain effort is produced by all family members for several months.If no one is left in the house or the apartment, then it is advisable to turn off all the energy consumption devices, except the refrigerator.
• The waiting mode devices do not consume so much electricity, but if you remember how many of these devices there are in the house, it will be clear that a considerable part of the energy is almost wasted.For example, an ordinary speaker system in waiting mode requires 11 w/hour.
• Verify and replace the anterior wiring will not be superfluous both in terms of savings and fire safety.The number of t -shirts, adapters and extensions must be minimized, since its use leads to an increase in network resistance and 30%energy loss.It is better to install some more plugs when replacing wiring.

How to save on electricity using energy savings technologies

Almost all more or less decent modern companies that produce domestic or computer equipment are struggling for energy conservation.In conditions of growth in electrician prices, this provides competitive advantages.

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

• Buy appliances.It is necessary to be interested in the class of its energy consumption, the cheapest devices in class A, A+, A ++, the lowest class E, F, G. The difference between classes A and G can be double.
• However, the acquisition of an energy saving device is only half the case.It still needs to be operated correctly.Therefore, an obstructed bag in a vacuum leads to a loss of 40% of electricity, approximately the same image with a refrigerator, which is covered with a layer of snow and ice.
• The isolation of an apartment or house (replace windows with metal plastic, wall walls with foam or mineral insulation, door compaction, balcony and lodge glazing) will retain heat better.As a result, before the start of the heating season or with insufficiently hot batteries, powerful electric heating can be used less or used to create a more profitable temperature more profitable air conditioning in heating.
• The easiest way to save electricity is to replace the incandescent bulbs with which they save energy.This will require a unique purchase of much more expensive lamps (fluorescent or energy saving LEDs), but its installation is worth quite quickly, sometimes within a year.The luminescent "economy" consumes 5 times less than the usual "lamp", and the LED, more than 8 times.At the same time, economic lamps serve ten times more.

How to save electricity at home, considering your consumption with precision

The assistant in this matter can be devices that will provide visual information on the energy consumed and the possibility of its most rational use.

• Electronic e/energy electronic meter of two or three rates.Installing it will allow dividing the energy consumed during the day and at night.The night rate is approximately 30%lower.This is due to the need to download electrical networks during the maximum hours of stress and the transfer of part of consumption at a more "quiet" time.Therefore, it is profitable that the consumer who has a counter at a later time to use power 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 company's electricity supplier.
• Light -regulator (Dimmer).This device is installed instead of the switch and allows you to adjust the brightness of lamp light.The same lamp can use an attenuator to serve for the general lighting of the room, to read, watch a TV or as a night light.There are also light regulators with remote control or the possibility of changing from several points.The advantage of attenuators is that they extend the useful life of the lamps, but cannot be used with all kinds of lighting devices.
• Impulse relay.It allows you to control the lighting from different places of the house, it is convenient to use it when it turns off the entire lighting of the room by pressing a button.
• Movement sensors.They are installed in residential and office premises, as well as in courtyards.Light and turn off the light in the presence or absence of movement.
• Home Wattmeter.It allows to measure the power of the consumption of each device, frequency and network voltage.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 more than 10 years.At the same time, technology has taken a step forward during this time that the new refrigerator consumes half energy, so the person, saving in the purchase of a new device, constantly loses to pay the invoices.

• The refrigerator should not be installed near plates or heating batteries, in poorly ventilated corners and niches;This will lead to overheating and more frequent inclusion.For the same reason, it is not recommended to place a dish and pots with hot products inside the refrigerator, as well as too frequent or for a long time opening the door.To save money, it is also better to put the device to cool the average mode and defrost it regularly and clean it with snow and ice.
• There are not all houses in each house, but where it is, the leadership of the cost of electricians behind it.But here there is an opportunity to save energy.The size of the dishes in which the food is prepared should not be less than the burner used, the bottom must be uniform.A closed dish with a lid is prepared 20-30% faster.After boiling water, the burning temperature is better transferred to a low temperature regime;This will not affect the process of preparation of the dish, but will reduce E/Energy consumption.
• The washer operates more stable in the regulatory load indicated in the instructions.The overload or incomplete load, as well as the unjustified use of the preliminary washing function, increases the consumption of electricians from 10 to 30%.
• The electrician requires regular cleaning of the scale.In addition, it does not boil the full kettle for the future, enough water to prepare a cup of tea.
• Turn on the air conditioning only with well -closed windows and doors, so as not to cool the street, select the device according to the technical characteristics corresponding to the room that must be cooled.There are models of air conditioners with reduced electricians at 50%.

This is only part of the advice on how to save electricity.In more detail, they can be found in other articles in the section.However, we must not forget that saving resources not only takes care of your own wallet, but also preserving the environment for children and grandchildren.

Every 100 generaturo watts of electric power means burning 33 liters of oil, or 48 kilograms of coal, or 35 cubic meters of natural gas.If we add to this the problem of pollution of the nature of harmful emissions, it is clear that the use and saving of electricity is not only the private issue of each consumer, but also the global problem of all humanity.
