We save electricity
When everything is rapidly getting more expensive (including utility bills and electricity), moments of savings are of particular relevance. Of course, if you do not trust the readings of your counter, then the ASCUE system will help to solve the problem. However, so that your payment for electricity does not go off the way, it is important to learn how to correctly operate equipment in everyday life, using the capabilities of the instruments to the maximum. The main advice: When buying new equipment, first of all, pay attention to the class of energy consumption, which belongs to this or that device (it is indicated by the letters: a, b, c, d, e, f, g). So the letters A and B on the device inform that it has a high class of energy conservation, well, if you find the letters C, D, E, F and G, know that its operation in terms of energy consumption will not cost you cheap, C This technique about saving electricity should be forgotten. There are also 2 more additional classes A+and A ++, the appliances with similar designations are the highest energy efficiency. So, for example, if the refrigerator belongs to the class of energy conservation A, A+and A ++, then its electricity consumption will be reduced by about 40-50%. Of course, technology with the advantage of energy conservation is more expensive, but you will celebrate the benefits of its use in a year – your payments for electricity will many times less, and in the same year you can save up to several thousand rubles.
PLATE. It is proved that when using dishes with a small bottom in the process of cooking, we can lose up to 50% of electricity. Tip: Make sure that the diameter of the bottom of the dishes corresponds to the diameter of the electric stove fireplace. 5 minutes before the preparation of the dish, turn off the stove (during this time on the cooling plate, the food will reach). You can save up to 30% of electricity if you cook food in the dishes under the lid. Help to significantly save electricity glass -ceramic slabs; The thing is that they have a special indicator showing the burners that keep residual heat.
KETTLE. Try to periodically remove the scale from the spiral; If this is not done, the device will spend 2 times more energy when boiling water. When buying a new technique of this type – give preference to a teapot with a flat heating element (but not a spiral!), such devices will provide faster water heating.
MICROWAVE. It is most economical to warm up food in it in small quantities (up to 500 g); In other cases, it is worth warming food on the stove (as cheaper!)
WASHING MACHINE. Your washing will stand in a pretty penny if you misunderstand the washing program (in this case, the power output will be 20-30%). You will save about 15% of the electricity if you make sure that the laundry is distributed evenly, and so that the rate of linen does not exceed, and the machine was not loaded not completely. Read the instructions, it gives recommendations on the number of loaded linen, but information on the labels of clothing will help to comply with the optimal temperature regime.
IRON. 7 minutes before the end of the ironing, turn off the iron: the device all this time (that is, after disconnecting) will save heat, and you perfectly iron the remaining things. But use the pair function only in a situation of emergency; The thing is that about 90% of the energy consumed by an iron goes to maintain the function of a continuous steam flow.
FRIDGE. If your refrigerator does not have the No Frost function, then you just need to defrost it yourself at least once every 2 weeks (otherwise the resulting ice will increase energy consumption by 20%). Try not to load the refrigerator to failure; Fill it evenly with products, and then the unit will be able to work in normal mode, without unnecessary energy consumption. At the same time, it is better to fill the freezer chamber completely – then your products will be able to “exchange” cold. If you can’t fill the freezer to failure, just put the ice containers in it.
VACUUM CLEANER. After the next cleaning, clean the vacuum cleaner (do not forget about air filters!); If they are clogged, then your cleaning process will increase significantly in time, since you will have to vacuum longer, and as a result, 2 times more electricity will be spent on.
