How to save electricity

To date, the largest amount of electricity on Earth is produced by non -renewable sources (oil burning, gas, stone and brown coal).The reserves of these fossils are not unlimited, so electricity in the near future will increase the price, unless scientists develop new economic and highly effective ways to use the potential of non -traditional energy sources (sun, wind, warmth of the earth and treats).

Savings of electricity by optimizing its consumption

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

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

• The bulbs on the ground and in particular the ceiling increase the light output of the device by 10-15%.If you use a clean chandelier with an open ceiling, you can screw a light bulb.
• It is recommended to buy the upper chandelier with the possibility of lighting a part of the bulbs separately.When viewing a television program alone, a lamp will be enough and use complete lighting when you receive guests.
• Combined lighting (wall appliques, floor lamps, table lamps) is not only to save electricity at home, but also a way to create the necessary atmosphere in the premises of the necessary atmosphere (business, romantic, comfortable) for all occasions.With the correct use of local lighting, the general can be reduced to a minimum.
• The light should not burn in rooms that are not currently used.This habit with some effort is produced by all family members for several months.If nobody is left at home or in the apartment, it is advisable to deactivate all the devices that consume power, with the exception of the refrigerator.
• The devices in standby mode do not consume so much electricity, but if you remember how many of these devices are at home, it will become clear that a considerable part of the energy is spent almost wasted.For example, a normal system of speakers in standby mode takes 11 hours.
• Check and replace the old wiring will not be superfluous both in terms of savings and fire safety.The number of Tee, adapters and extensions should be reduced to a minimum, since their use leads to an increase in network resistance and energy loss at 30%.It is better to install some other more pressure when replacing the wiring.

How to save on electricity using energy salvation technologies

Almost all more or less decent modern companies that produce domestic or IT equipment are fighting for energy saving.In conditions of growth in electricians' prices, this offers them competitive advantages.

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

• Purchase of electric appliances.It is necessary to be interested in the class of their energy consumption, the cheapest devices of class A, A+, A ++, the minimum - class E, F, G. The difference between classes A and G can be double.
• However, the acquisition of an energy salvation device is only half of the case.It still has to be managed correctly.Then, a bag clogged in a vacuum cleaner leads to a 40% loss of electricity, approximately the same photo with a refrigerator, which inside is covered with a layer of snow and ice.
• The isolation of an apartment or a house (replacing windows with metal plastic, walls of walls with foam or mineral insulation, compaction of doors, balcony glass and loggia) will better maintain heat.Consequently, before the start of the heating season or with insufficiently hot batteries, powerful electric heaters can be used less or used to create a comfortable temperature more profitable air conditioning for heating.
• The easiest way to save electricity is to replace incandescent bulbs with those approaching energy.This will require a purchase of once more expensive lamps (fluorescent or led that greet energy), but their installation pays quite quickly, sometimes within a year.The luminescent economy consumes 5 times less than the usual "Illich lamp" and the LED - more than 8 times.At the same time, the economic lamps serve ten times longer.

How to save electricity at home, carefully considering its consumption

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

• Electronic meter for two or three and/energy rates.Installing it will allow you to divide the energy consumed during the day and at night.The night rate is about 30%lower.This is due to the need to download electric networks during the top hours and the transfer of part of the consumption to a more "calm" time.Therefore, it is profitable for the consumer who has such a meter later to use devices at power cost (boiler, washing machine, iron, dishwasher, bread bottle, pressure cooker), which can be programmed for use at certain hours.The counter must be legalized in the supplier of the electricity company.
• Light regulator (dimmer).This device is installed in place of the ceiling and allows you to adjust the brightness of the lamp light.The same lamp can use a dimmer 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 going from different points.The advantage of the Dimmer is that they prolong the life of the lamps, but cannot be used with all types of lighting devices.
• Impulse relay.It allows you to control lighting from different places in the house, it is convenient to use when you turn off all lighting in the room by pressing a button.
• Movement sensors.They are installed in residential and office premises, as well as in construction sites.Turn on and out of light in the presence or absence of movement.
• Domestic wattmeter.It allows you to measure the power of the consumption of each device, frequency and voltage in the network.Using this information, you can adopt measures to save electricity.

How to save electricity at home

The most powerful devices in the house are a refrigerator and an electric stove.People often have used the same refrigerator for more than 10 years.At the same time, the technology has thus moved on during this period that the new refrigerator consumes the energy of half, then the person, saving on the purchase of a new device, constantly loses to pay the invoices.

• The refrigerator must not be installed near heating plates or batteries, in poorly ventilated corners and niches: this will lead to overheating and more frequent inclusion.For the same reason, it is not advisable 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.To save money, it is also better to put the device to cool the medium mode and unlock regularly and clean it from the snow and ice.
• There is not all the houses in every 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 where the food is prepared should not be less than the burner used, the bottom should be uniform.A closed dish with a lid is prepared 20-30% faster.After boiling the water, the combustion temperature is transferred better to a low temperature regime: this will not affect the preparation process of the dish, but will reduce the consumption of and/energy.
• The washing machine works more stable to the regulatory load indicated in the instructions.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 scale.Also, do not boil the complete kettle for the future, enough water to prepare a cup of tea.
• Turn on the air conditioning only with strictly closed windows and doors, so as not to cool the road, select the device based on the technical characteristics corresponding to the room that must be cooled.There are models of the air conditioners of the converter with electricians reduced by 50%.

This is just a part of the suggestions on how to save electricity.More in detail, they can be discovered in other articles in the section.However, we should not forget that resource rescue is not only care of your wallet, but also preserving the environment for children and grandchildren.

Every 100 watts of gender of electricity means burnt 33 liters of oil, or 48 kilograms of coal or 35 cubic meters of natural gas.If we add to this the problem of nature pollution with harmful emissions, it becomes clear that the use and savings of electricity are not only the private question of every consumer, but also the global problem of all humanity.
