The cost of electrical energy is growing from year to year, forcing ordinary consumers to look for ways to reduce bills for its payment. Recently, a large number of various devices, designed to save electricity up to 50%. Consider the main advantages of devices on the market
Economist of electricity
Such devices are presented in a wide range and have a similar principle of operation: a device stuck in a socket reduces the cost of electrical energy without restricting consumption. This energy-saving device should perform functions such as:
- Compensation of the reactive component of electrical energy;
- Smoothing starting currents;
- Reducing electrical loads on the network;
- Network overload protection, etc.
However, if you grasp the essence of the issue, these boxes with LEDs are another divorce of gullible citizens who want to save on utility bills. A closer look at the contents of such devices can detect the following components:
- Capacitor;
- Power Supply;
- LEDs
The myth of saving energy using a magic device will be debunked after the first month of operation and received bills for the energy consumed. This device definitely does not have a positive effect for household consumers of electrical energy.
Really working ways to save electricity
Two tariff electricity meter
This metering station provides metering of resource consumption depending on time. At the same time, tariffs for electricity during the day and at night are significantly different. Thanks to the programming function of a washing machine, a multi-cooker, a dishwasher and other household appliances, it became possible to save on bills for paying electricity at night. Switching home appliances, equipment and electrical appliances to night work is a real way to ensure significant money savings. However, nightly rates do not work in every city of our vast country.
Timer socket
There are sockets with a mechanical or electronic timer, the second option is more multifunctional. The principle of the outlet with a timer based on the disconnection and inclusion in certain periods of time, so that you can significantly automate the work of home appliances. At the same time, these sockets are most effective in combination with two-tariff electricity meters.
Energy saving and LED lighting lamps
Such light sources are different from incandescent bulbs for low energy consumption. Thanks to their use, the amount of electricity spent on lighting a house or apartment will decrease by 5 or more times. The service life of energy-saving and LED lamps is about 10-15 years, which is significantly higher than that for incandescent and fluorescent lamps. At the same time, the illumination brightness of LED light sources is much higher and of higher quality.
Motion sensors
The use of sensors that react to the movement of a person in a dedicated area allows you to control lighting devices without direct human intervention. Compact size, good sensitivity and high reliability of operation make these devices an excellent option for saving energy in facilities with any lighting system. Complex equipping of premises, elevator cabins, staircases and house territories with motion sensors will help to save a significant amount of kilowatt of electricity.
