A significant share of family income is spent on utility bills every month. But in fact, this amount could be much less. And without any fraud. There are several effective ways to save on utility bills.
Bulb replacement
The first step towards saving is to replace all the bulbs with LED ones. They are more expensive than incandescent lamps, but consume 8-10 times less energy. In addition, such bulbs last for several years. Thus, the cost of their purchase is justified.
Installation of motion sensors
How often do you forget to turn off the lights when leaving the room? And by the way, your forgetfulness costs you money. Therefore, it would be the right decision to install motion sensors in the apartment. If the device "understands" that there is no one in the room, it forcibly turns off the light.
Instrument Check
Home appliances are divided into energy efficiency classes. Class A and A + appliances consume the least amount of energy. Check your home appliances for this parameter. If you have a lot of old equipment of class "C" or "D", then it's time to replace it. Perhaps now this investment seems irrational to you, but in the future you can significantly reduce the cost of paying for electricity.
Proper washing
You spend a lot of electricity while washing in hot water. But in most cases, 30-40 degrees is enough to cope with spots. In addition, washing in cold water helps things stay presentable longer.
Economical dishwashing
To wash dishes more economically, install aerators on the taps that provide good dispersion of the tap water stream. And in the future, think about buying a dishwasher. In this case, the water flow will be much less than when washing with hands. The savings are so substantial that they even justify the cost of electricity.
Saving on a drain tank
Much more water is drawn into the toilet flush tank than is actually required. To cope with this problem, you need to fill a liter bottle with water and place in the tank. Thus, each time a liter less water will be drawn into the tank. And per month this is a significant savings.
Thermal insulation
So that in winter you do not have to turn on the heater and overpay for electricity, take care of thermal insulation. Put tight windows, insulate walls, insulate all cracks and cracks. Thus, central heating will suffice for you.
