Saving electricity
Increasing the amount of time we spend at home can lead to higher incoming bills. Although this is an expected result, it is possible to save energy and reduce the amount of payments by some applications. At the same time, being careful about saving means fulfilling a responsibility for nature. Based on these ideas, we have developed proposals that will save money during the isolation period.
It is very important to consider energy classes when buying electrical appliances or white goods (major appliance). These energy classes range from A+++ to D, with the A+++ category leading the way. You need to make sure your vehicles are as close to this class as possible. It will be an expensive option in the short run, but will save up to 40 percent in the long run.
When using a washing machine or dishwasher, running machines without filling them up is one of the factors that can save you money. You can also pay attention to the fact that it is economical to use these tools at lower temperatures.
Do not neglect to protect your home appliances and electrical appliances that you use regularly at home and keep them as clean as possible. Keep in mind that different parts of these tools work best when well maintained or when the filters are clean. In addition, regular maintenance will have a positive impact on their lifetime and save you from additional costs.
Open the refrigerator door as little as possible, which is very important in terms of both food life and energy savings. The more you open the cover, the more energy is required for cooling.
If possible, choose a balcony instead of a dryer to dry your clothes. Why use an extra machine when the weather is good and you can dry your clothes easily?
Make sure electrical appliances are completely turned off when not in use. One of the most common mistakes is not turning off the tools completely. For example, if you don't plan to use the TV, you can turn it off. In this way, you save a little energy, and when these small details are taken into account, it affects the costs.
Make sure the lighting is energy efficient. As mentioned at the beginning of the article, electrical appliances have an efficiency class of A-D. Always choose high-performance ones instead of classic lighting.
Saving water
The issue of water conservation is also an ethical responsibility, as the critical importance of clean water is growing due to environmental problems in the world. Things to look for when selecting yours: Shorten your shower time. The amount of water consumed in the shower per minute varies from 15 to 40 liters. A rough calculation shows that the amount of water consumed in this 10-minute shower is between 150 and 400 liters. Taking a short, cold shower can be both healthy and water-saving.
Instead of washing dishes by hand, choose dishwashers. We use more water than the dishwasher when washing dishes by hand. What we need to pay attention to here is that the dishwasher needs regular maintenance and cleaning.
Do not leave water open when brushing your teeth. One of the most common mistakes is wasting up to 20 liters of water by keeping the tap open while brushing your teeth. You should make sure you use the tap properly when brushing your teeth. This habit in itself means saving tons of water.
Saving heat
It doesn't matter in spring or winter, it is very profitable to have the house insulated because it is easier to maintain the current temperature inside the house with insulation. This means a reduction in the price of natural gas in winter and the energy consumed by air conditioning in summer. If you do not have an insulation in your home, we recommend doing so.
Another issue that will give you an advantage in saving heat is the quality of the windows. By choosing the right window, you can both increase the thermal insulation and protect it from noise.
Finally, you need to pay attention to the design of the rooms. It is recommended not to cover the front of the central heater with furniture and to determine the correct location of the air conditioner.
