It is known that a variety of appliances that consume electricity, will help you save a certain amount of money if they are not left in the sleep mode, and make it a rule pull out of outlets.
1. "Sleep" mode
Rechargeable mobile device that is inserted into the socket remains warm and thus consumes power.
Look around you, how much you have in the modern household appliances apartment, you do not even remember when last used. But certainly they are all plugged in. Turn off printers and scanners, electric kettle and microwave. They all seemed to be asleep, but actually consume electricity, for which you pay money, and considerable.
To ensure that these allegations were not unfounded, we suggest you to make and carry out their own little experiment.
Including tea and look at the electricity meter. Its wheel starts to spin faster. Now turn on a couple more devices, the wheel starts spinning already with more force.
2. Refusal of progress in favor of saving
Another way to save renounce the use of unnecessary appliances. Here, judge for yourself, why do you need an electric kettle, if there is a gas stove?
And many do not even use the kettle and Thermo. This is a unique hybrid of the kettle and thermos. He first boils the water, and then keeps the temperature constant.
That is, as soon as the water cools down a couple of degrees, Thermo wakes up and starts to "eat" your electricity to again bring the water to a boil. Is there a need every minute in boiling water? Unlikely.
When you train again, like in the good old days, boil water on the stove, then it's time to sort out, and a microwave.
Try longer to cook and reheat food on a gas stove. And use the microwave to defrost food? It is generally uneconomical. You know in advance what you need to unfreeze the chicken or fish for dinner. So get them and thaw naturally without using electricity.
3. Changing to more efficient light bulbs
Another way to save precious energy to replace energy-intensive light bulbs, that is consuming a lot of power, more cost-effective. LED lamps are the most efficient light sources currently available.
