Without him, in a modern house can not live. No computer games, no hockey on TV, no beer in the fridge. And with electricity, life is pleasant and comfortable. But you have to pay a lot for it, especially in winter. Open notebooks - write down how to save electricity!
The right choice of new electrical goods
According to the international scale, all devices connected to the network are marked with Latin letters from A to F. The most economical ones are marked with “A” with a certain number of plus signs. For less economical goods, the store owners willingly give discounts, but the price gain when buying will result in a loss during the operation period.
Use of attached tables
The electrical plates are attached to the operating plates. To the iron - with the designation, at what temperature to iron which fabrics, to the electric ovens - how much time is needed to prepare this or that food. By following the instructions, without overstating the temperature and time, you can significantly save energy.
Time Relay (Timers)
These simple accessories will turn off the heating or air conditioning a few minutes after you leave home, turn off the TV, if you doze off before it, the electric water heater in the thermostat, when enough time has passed for heating. Cost a penny, saving thousands.
Knowing how long it takes a thermostat to heat to 60 ° C water, you can accurately calibrate the timer.

Economical light bulbs
Such lamps consume three times-four times less energy than conventional ones, and the brightness of the lighting is about the same. Do not heat up, do not give up unnecessary heat.
- Halogen compact lamps There are different types. Some of them are perfectly screwed into standard cartridges, others should be purchased with a chandelier or lamp. Ideal for lighting the corridor, kitchen, balcony, pantry, bathroom, toilet - those rooms that are not engaged in work that requires strong lighting.
- LED lights also give a muffled light. In the living room they are mounted closer to the TV. As wall lights, ideal for lighting bedrooms and nurseries. Closer to bedtime, they replace the general light, creating an atmosphere of peace, intimacy, and rest.
The larger the apartment, the more noticeable the savings. Such lamps pay off very quickly, and serve for a long time (more than 1000 working hours).
Warming of the apartment for the winter
It is no secret that a considerable percentage of heat from a heated apartment in the winter time goes outside. If it is not possible to install plastic three-layer windows, it is worth remembering about simple ways to reduce the consumption of heat and electricity spent on it.
- To upholster the front door from the inside or outside with synthetic insulation and leatherette. Modern steel doors have a higher thermal conductivity than wood.
- Close the windows for the winter with a transparent cellophane film, leaving a window or 10% of the sliding window area for emergency airing.
- Adjust the temperature in the apartment so that it is not higher than 18-21 ° C. Wear a sweater - you shouldn't have any money, and you spend less electricity.
Night work of electrical appliances
If preferential rates for different times of the day have been introduced in your region, it is better to turn on the washing machine or dishwasher before going to bed. To do this, help timers, already long ago appeared in such devices.
Turn off the computer at night. The opinion that in a state of "sleep mode" the computer does not consume energy, and frequent shutdowns are harmful to it, does not hold water. If a power outage occurs, the computer and its outdoor devices should be disconnected from the network at night.And energy is saved, and devices will be targets.
At this, dear students, the lesson is over!
