  2. Turn off the iron 10 minutes before the end of handling.The sole of the device will remain hot throughout the period, you will complete the iron according to the principle of residual heat.
  3. Try to dry the panties by 95%, the remaining 5% provide an iron.If things are excessive, the device will need more efforts to process and knead all the creases.You therefore spend a lot of electricity.
  4. Refuse the old appliances, give preference to modern irons with an automatic shutdown function.When heated at a certain temperature, the indicator is turned off so that the electricity is saved.
  5. Choose iron mode, taking into account the type of fabric.If you process linen or cotton, do not perform manipulations at very low temperatures.You will spend more time and electricity, and the creases will not be completely removed.

Vacuum cleaner

  1. For the vacuum cleaner to consume electricity according to the declared indicators, it is necessary to regularly shake the dust and clean the existing filters.
  2. If you neglect this board, the domestic device will exceed the indicators allowed by 20 to 30%.The vacuum cleaner will work less efficiently, but more energy consumption.
  3. Domestic devices of this type use more light when turning off and turning on.So try not to turn off the vacuum cleaner after the processing of each room.Pull back into you in a state of work.

Washing machine

  1. This domestic device accounts for 15% of electricity costs.Study the manufacturer's recommendations, use all the functions of your washing machine.

Divided System (Air Conditioning)

  1. Room cooling systems “eat” a lot of electricity, so they need to use them less often.If possible, define the maximum power 3 times a day and cool the room in this way.
  2. Families with young children should not put a very low temperature;So try to cool the apartment in court.Before turning on the air conditioner, make sure the windows, windows and doors are tightly closed.Eliminate the possible cracks that pass the hot air of the street.
  3. Before buying a divided system, measure the room in which the air conditioner will be installed.It is also important to consider the number of people in the room.Do not take equipment with high or low power.Give preference to options in the middle.
  4. Do not forget the planned service of the air conditioner.Perform filters, cartridges and fans according to programming.Regularly fill in the special compartment with liquid as it evaporates.

Computer

  1. Today, personal computers are available in almost every homes.This is not surprising, as the age of technological progress leaves its mark in society.
  2. The PC consumes a lot of electricity, which significantly increases the average utility account.The shine of the monitor spends a lot of light.If there is no need for a strong indicator, reduce it to an acceptable brand.
  3. If you do not use the computer for 1-2 hours, do not wait until the equipment turns off automatically.Set a PC to sleep or disconnect mode.
  4. If you need to use a scanner, modem or printer by birth, connect peripheral devices using a network filter.Always turn off the devices if not required.
  5. New liquid crystalline displays spend less electricity than their predecessors.If possible, go to these monitors or use laptops (they consume light 30% lower).

Refrigerator

  1. Even the child has the basic skills to use the refrigerator.There is nothing complicated in this, but adults make many mistakes while installing an appliance.
  2. For example, it is not strictly recommended to place a refrigerator on the sunny side of the kitchen, near heating devices and radiators, next to a gas or electric stove.
  3. If there are heat sources nearby, the refrigerator will begin to delight in them.The camera, in turn, will try to keep a mark at the right level.This will lead to high light costs.
  4. It is also important to adhere to the temperature mark in the kitchen room.The ideal mode is the 19-21 degree indicator.It is this temperature that will allow the refrigerator to work without unnecessary effort.
  5. Do not neglect the elementary rules for technique care.Make a defrosting, free the camera from strong pieces of ice.Change the rubber seals at the doors so that the refrigerator always remains sealed.
  6. Never move the technique near the wall, this movement will slow down the air circulation, the refrigerator approaches.Do not buy a huge device if your family is not so high.He spends a lot of light and, in vain, cools the empty space.

Heating devices

  2. Obviously, double -vibrated windows isolating the heat perfectly.But the wooden paintings go to most (about 50%).Put all cracks with painted painting or tape, isolate the windows with cotton.Similarly, it is necessary to close the doors firmly.
  3. If the central heating is included, but the room is still cold, wash the tubes.You can also change batteries with new ones or "build" several additional sections.With this result, it will not be necessary to connect the heaters.
  4. In the event that heaters literally "eat" their family budget, learn how to use other heat sources.Their paper can be dry to a towel (is connected to hot water) or a gas burner.In the latter case, you need to constantly monitor the amount of gas and periodically ventilate the room.
