Energy conservation at home

Unfortunately, in the home is now saving the term often denotes the theft of electricity. Given the size of fines and criminal and administrative responsibility for such actions is far better to hold a series of measures to reduce consumption of electricity in your home. We begin to examine this issue from the very energy-intensive equipment - electric heating. Using electricity to heat itself is irrational given more than its cost. But, nevertheless, sometimes the only source of electricity energy. Currently, there are many modern ways of heating, with clear advantages over traditional: the long-wave heaters, underfloor heating, heat storage. Recent allow the use of low-benefit "night" tariff for electricity, because precisely during the period of this tariff is an accumulation of heat in heat storage. In the afternoon the same time, they give heat in strict accordance with the exposed temperature. Generally, in the case of electric heating installation dvuhtarifnogo accounting simply obligatory. Detailed descriptions of these methods can be found on the Internet. Often in the home in conjunction with central heating (due to its quality) used oil heaters. Before using make sure to reduce heat loss in the apartment. If we consider the heat balance of the home, it becomes clear that most of the heat energy heating system goes out to block heat loss. They have a home with central heating and water supply are as follows: losses due to non-insulated windows and doors - 40% loss through the window glass - 15% loss through the walls - 15% loss through ceilings and floors - 7%; Obviously, that the use of plastic windows can significantly reduce losses. Timely and regular insulated windows. Electric stoves are the second highest energy consumption, annual consumption of electricity is 1200-1400 kW. Here there are some rules of the efficient use of electricity: The use of the burners at full capacity only on the time needed for boiling. Further, power is reduced to the level required to maintain boiling (above 100 degrees the temperature is still not up). Products that require long cooking to cook on a small burner. Diameter dishes must be equal to or slightly greater than the diameter of the burner, the bottom should have the most contact (preferably flat and smooth). Food and drinks with a curved bottom can lead to overspending by up to 40-60%. Pots must close the lid. By boiling and hot water is better to pour as much water as needed for the upcoming tea party. Promptly remove the scum. Application of pressure cooker saves significant time and energy. Appliances and electronics. Here are basic tips regarding these energopriemnikov: Refrigerator must be in the coolest place away from the kitchen and the battery plates, preferably near the outer wall, but none close to it. Use automatic washing machine at night (when installing dvuhtarifnogo counter). Set up your home computer at an economical mode of operation (off the monitor, sleep mode, turning off hard disks, etc.). Lighting. Do not neglect the natural light: bright light curtain walls and ceiling, clean the window, landing on windowsills moderate increase coverage for your home. Rational use three systems of lighting: general, local and combined. Lamps for general lighting are usually the most powerful lights in the room, their main task - to cover all as evenly as possible. In one or more locations premises should ensure that the local coverage in specific circumstances. This coverage requires special fixtures installed in close proximity to the desk, chair, dressing table, etc. Combination lamps by selective inclusion of lamps may serve as general and local lighting. The most economical is the principle of zonal coverage, based on the use of common, or a combination of local coverage of individual functional areas. If in the light of these zones of these areas to use a directional light lamps, table lamps, floor lamps, sconces, the house will be more comfortable, and therefore more comfortable. For such a zonal approach lighting lamps 1,5-2 times less powerful than in the hanging lamps. As a result, room 18 - 20 sqm. m saving up to 200 kWh per year. Incandescent bulbs used in our homes the lion's share of energy spent on heating rather than illumination. Currently, there is a huge selection of improved light sources. But cost-effective are not all of them (because of their cost). The light output of some sources of light lux / watt.

Because they are about 8 times longer than incandescent bulbs and consume less power at the same power. Which allows the current tariff for the average apartment (2-3 rooms) to save up to 1500 rubles. for life. In some areas (stairwells, lobbies, entrances) will be useful switches, turn on and off are also still comfortable. Such devices are now a wide range selected based on their needs and financial possibilities. In the literature, for radio you can find circuits of devices that can be collected independently. As an outcome like to point out that the habit of saving electricity is a sign of reasonable and modern consumer and do not necessarily poor in the new houses rich people use modern technology more often than "normal" consumers. Energy-efficient technologies available today to everyone, use and get satisfaction not only from economic benefits but also from helping an overloaded, outdated power grids of Russia.
