If you are disturbed by large sums in accounts for electricity, it is worth thinking whether reasonably you spend the electric power. If to approach business intelligently, it is possible not only to save part of the family budget, but also to make the contribution to preservation of resources of the our planet.
Instruction
1. Switch-off any electric equipment for that time while it is not used. Upon purchase of household appliances pay attention to its class of energy consumption. The most economic are electric devices of class "A".
2. In cold season a lot of energy consumes the electric heater. That it did not idle, choose the model equipped with the thermostat. It will maintain the set indoor temperature, switching off also including the heater. Will not prevent to warm in addition windows and doors – it is possible, the heater in this case and it is not useful. Try that the drawn curtains did not hide for themselves the electric heater, otherwise part of heat from them will not come to the room.
3. Try to use more natural lighting. In night-time include luminescent bulbs - they consume several times less electric power, than glow lamps. As the option can be established houses svetoregulyator instead of the normal switch.
4. Prepare in pans with diameter of bottom, equal to the size of rings on the electric stove, otherwise large number of the electric power going for heating is lost. Switch off rings slightly earlier, than food will be ready. At deformation of ring (for example if it has cracked), it is better to replace it as in this case there is also unjustified loss of heat. Use of pressure cookers and cooking in thick-walled ware will save not only the electric power, but also time for cooking.
5. You boil exactly so much water how many it is required to you right now in the electric kettle. So you not only will preserve a little electricity, but also keep health - harmfully to use the water boiled more than once. Regularly remove scum in teapot - it increases amount of the energy necessary for water boiling.
6. Do not install the fridge in close proximity to heating devices. Leave distance approximately in 5-10 cm between wall of kitchen and back wall of the fridge. Do not allow heating of the body of the fridge direct sunshine and do not put in it not cooled down food. Storage of hot products leads to more hard work of the fridge and big expenses of energy.
7. At last, install the multitariff counter on electricity. Electricity rates within a day differ - from 23:00 till 07:00 they approximately one third lower, than from 07:00 till 23:00. Distribute electricity consumption and use electric devices when its cost is minimum. Do not turn on electric devices in hours of the maximum electric loads (from 8:00 to 10:00 morning and from 20:00 to 22:00 evening) without special need.
