To date, the largest amount of electricity on Earth is produced from non -renewable sources (burning oil, gas, stone and brown coal).Reserves of these fossils are not unlimited;Therefore, electricity in the near future will increase price, unless scientists develop new and highly effective new ways to use the potential of non -traditional energy sources (sun, wind, earth heat and treats).
Electricity economy optimizing its consumption
First of all, you should wonder if, in some cases, you can completely abandon the use of electrical appliances or reduce the time of your operation.You need to pay attention to the following points:
- If possible, use daylight day to increase maximum room lighting.Regular washing of windows, high blinds and open curtains will allow you to light the lighting later, which will in total will make a remarkable savings for a month.In addition, light wallpapers or paint on the walls and ceiling can return up to 80% of sunlight, while in the room it is remarkably lighter than during a repair made of dark colors.
- Ground lamps and especially the ceiling increase the light outlet of the device by 10 to 15%.If you use a clean chandelier with an open plafon, you can gap a lamp.
- It is advisable to buy the upper chandelier with the possibility of activating separately part of the lamps.When viewing a television program alone, a lamp will be sufficient and will use complete lighting when receiving guests.
- Combined lighting (walls on the walls, floor lamps, table lamps) is not only saving electricity at home, but also a way to create the necessary atmosphere in the necessary atmosphere facilities (business, romantic, comfortable) for all occasions.With proper use of local lighting, the general can be minimized.
- The light should not burn in rooms that are currently not used.This habit with a certain effort is produced by all family members for several months.If there is no one at home or apartment, it is advisable to turn off all devices that consume energy except the refrigerator.
- Waiting mode devices don't consume so much electricity, but if you remember how many of these devices are at home, it will be clear that a considerable part of the energy is almost wasted.For example, a common speaker system in waiting mode requires 11 W/hour.
- Verifying and replacing old wiring will not be superfluous, both in terms of economy and fire safety.The number of t -shirts, adapters and extensions should be minimized as their use leads to an increase in network resistance and loss of power to 30%.It is better to install some more sockets when replacing wiring.
How to save on electricity using energy saving technologies
Almost all more or less decent modern companies that produce home or computer equipment are struggling for energy conservation.In growth conditions in electricians prices, this gives them competitive advantages.
The consumer of these devices only needs to carefully monitor new market offers.
- Buying electrical appliances.It is necessary to be interested in the class of its energy consumption, the most economical devices of class A, A+, A ++, the minimum - and, F, G. The difference between classes A and G may be double.
- However, the acquisition of an energy saving device is only half the case.It still needs to be operated correctly.Therefore, a purse clogged in a vacuum cleaner leads to a loss of 40% of electricity, approximately the same image with a refrigerator, which inside is covered with a layer of snow and ice.
- The isolation of an apartment or home (replacing the windows with metal wall walls with foam or mineral insulation, doors compaction, balcony windows and loggia) will better retain heat.As a result, prior to the start of the heating station or with insufficiently hot batteries, powerful electric heaters can be used less or used to create a more profitable comfortable temperature of the air conditioning on heating.
- The easiest way to save electricity is to replace incandescent lamps with others that save energy.This will require a much more expensive (fluorescent lamp or leds that save energy), but its installation pays quickly, sometimes within a year.The luminescent "economy" consumes 5 times less than the usual "Ilyich" Ilyich Lamp - more than 8 times.At the same time, economic lamps serve ten times more.
How to save electricity at home, considering its consumption accurately
The assistant on this subject may be devices that will provide visual information about the energy consumed and the possibility of its more rational use.
- Electronic E/Energy meter of two or three tariffs.Install it will allow you to divide the energy consumed during the day and night.The night rate is about 30%lower.This is due to the need to discharge electrical networks during stress peak hours and the transfer of part of consumption to a more "calm" time.Therefore, it is profitable for the consumer who has an accountant later to use power cost devices (boiler, washing machine, iron, dishwasher, bread button, pressure cooker), which can be programmed for use in certain hours.The accountant must be legalized in the electricity company supplier.
- Light regulator (dimmer).This device is installed in place of the switch and makes it possible to adjust the light of the lamp light.The same lamp can use a dimmer to serve to illuminate the room in general, to read, watch a TV or as a night light.There are also light regulators with remote control or the ability to change various points.The advantage of dimmers is that they extend the life of the lamps, but cannot be used with all types of lighting devices.
- Impulse relay.It allows you to control lighting from different places of the house, it is convenient to use when you turn off all the lighting in the room by pressing a button.
- Movement sensors.They are installed in residential and office facilities as well as in yards.Turn on and turn off the light in the presence or absence of movement.
- Domestic Wattmeter.It makes it possible to measure the power of consumption of each device, frequency and voltage in the network.Using this information, you can take action to save electricity.
How to save electricity at home
The most powerful devices in the house are a refrigerator and electric stove.Often people have been using the same refrigerator for over 10 years.At the same time, technology has advanced during this time that the new refrigerator consumes energy half of the measure, so the person, saving on buying a new device, constantly loses to pay the bills.
- The refrigerator should not be installed near heating plates or batteries, in poorly ventilated corners and niches - this will lead to more frequent overheating and inclusion.For the same reason, it is not recommended to put a plate and pots with hot products inside the refrigerator, as well as very frequent or for a long time opening the door.To save money, it is also better to put the device to cool the medium mode and defrost regularly and clean it from snow and ice.
- There are no houses in all houses, but wherever it is, the leadership of the cost of electricians behind it.But here there is an opportunity to save energy.The size of the dishes where food is prepared should not be smaller than the burner used, the background should be even.A closed dish with a lid is prepared 20-30% faster.After boiling water, the burning temperature is best transferred to a low temperature regime - this will not affect the plate preparation process, but will reduce the consumption of and/energy.
- The washing machine operates more stable in the regulatory load indicated in the instructions.Incomplete overload or loading, as well as unjustified use of the preliminary laundering function, increases the consumption of electricians from 10 to 30%.
- The electrician requires regular scale cleaning.Also, do not boil the full kettle for the future, enough water to prepare a cup of tea.
- Turn on the air conditioner with tightly closed windows and doors;In order not to cool the street, select the device according to the technical characteristics corresponding to the room that need to be cooled.There are models of air conditioner converter with electricians reduced by 50%.
This is just part of the tips on how to save electricity.In more detail, they can be found in other articles in the section.However, we should not forget that the savings of resources is not only to take care of your own wallet, but also to preserve the environment for children and grandchildren.
Every 100 Generatur Watt of electricity means burned 33 liters of oil, or 48 kg of coal, or 35 cubic meters of natural gas.If we add to this the problem of pollution of nature of harmful emissions, it will be clear that the use and economy of electricity are not only the private issue of each consumer, but also the global problem of all humanity.
