It is no secret, that expenses on payment of electricity occupy essential share in monthly utility payments. However this item of expenditure is quite easily regulated: expenses on payment of electricity can be reduced if to approach issue of energy consumption intelligently.
To save the electric power, it is necessary to approach this question comprehensively. It is worth beginning with the most obvious – from the choice of tariff for which you pay it. The normal counter considers electricity on one tariff for all the time of day, and this tariff is very unprofitable. However there is opportunity to pay electricity for one tariff – in the afternoon, and for another – at night, at the same time at night you will pay less for consumption of electricity. To seize this opportunity, it is necessary to buy the multitariff counter. Further already how you dispose of night time depends only on you: for example, you can put on the washing machine timer so that washing happened in these hours.
Do not forget also that the devices which are switched on in network, even when they do not work, consume electricity. The TV, the tape recorder, desk lamp – we usually do not switch off them from network, leaving the house, and meanwhile it can reduce energy consumption.
The following method to save the electric power treats those who use electric stoves. In case diameter of bottom of frying pan or pan does not correspond to diameter of ring, then there are excess expenses of the electric power: in case the ring is more, then warmly just goes to air and if on the contrary – the part of frying pan or pan supporting ring limits heats up too long. Big expense of the electric power in the apartment – the electric kettle. Speed with which it boils water is reached at the expense of its high power. If to use normal teapot on gas-fire improper option for you, then try to reduce electric kettle operating time. For example, do not put to be boiled the full kettle if you need to drink cup of tea only. Pour so much water how many it is necessary for you right now. Besides, in due time clean its heating coil from scum: the scum increases time necessary for boiling. It is necessary to mention such easy way of power saving as replacement of normal bulbs of incandescence by energy saving. As it is clear from the name, they help to preserve electricity, but also, they have very high life cycle that not only pays back them, but also does your life more convenient. One more household appliance helping to save electricity is fridge. Do not put it to the places close to heating devices or being in the sun – the more the fridge heats up outside, the more it is required to it power to cool it from within. For the same reasons you should not hold long the fridge opened when you get something from it or you put in it. As you can see, there are many easy ways to save electricity, without refusing to itself at the same time use of the usual equipment.
