A modern apartment filled with electrical appliances represents a potentially dangerous object for the family budget. He did not put out the light in the room or loaded the washing machine under the string-minus in the budget is provided. However, do not be upset, we'll show you how you can and should save electricity legally.

Leaving the light extinguished
The banal well-known phrase: "Leaving the light extinguished" has an economic justification, based on dry figures of electricity consumption when using household appliances. To provide savings is possible due to a thoughtful and reasonable selection of lighting lamps, power consumption of appliances and not only.
legal energy saving in a modern apartment
The first thing to be determined in order to create an economical approach is to audit existing lighting objects and potential energy sinks. How to determine the electricity consumption of household appliances?
Determine the power consumption - from watt to kilowatts
appliances
It is known that the main electricians are water heaters, refrigerators and washing machines.
The average electricity consumption per month is from 150 to 330 kWh.
You can find out the power consumption of household appliances from the passport and the summary table of average consumption and electricity consumption per day.
For example, the electric power consumption of a water heater with a TAN of 70 liters per hour will be 1 kW. With a 24 hour operation of the heater, the consumption per day will be up to 20 kW / h. The work of a heat electric heater for 12 hours will consume 6 kW / h, and a washing machine for 2 hours of intensive washing - 2 kW / h.
At rough calculation for a day the basic powerful household units are capable to spend up to 40-50 kw / h of the electric power. More modest consumers - a laptop, a computer, a microwave oven and an electric kettle, will spend up to 10 kWh per day. Naturally, in the absence of savings, the number of power consumption per month from watt to kilowatts increases to impressive sizes.
Helpful Tips
When using the water heater, it is possible to adjust the water heating t to maintain a certain regime. Set the optimum mode (not more than 60-70 ° C) and turn off the heater at night. In addition, it does not hurt to make preventive cleaning and replacement of the anode from the scum of poor-quality tap water. This can ensure a reduction in the boiler's energy consumption by up to 10%.
No less active burners of electricity are incandescent lamps and left for the night in the socket chargers.
lamps
Let's say that the incandescent power consumption is 1 kW, the energy-saving lamp is 0.025 kW, and the LED lamp is only 0.013 kW. The difference in power consumption is obvious, so change the lighting to energy-saving lamps.
You will not believe, but the replacement of one lamp, according to estimates of economists, will be up to 1 thousand rubles a year. In addition, the service life of compact LED fluorescent lamps is an average of 8,000 hours. The economically justified choice is obvious.

charging device
Concealed potential consumers of electricity consider chargers Powered energy adapter and Travel Charger Cable USB. Passive consumers are able to spend idle from 2.75 to 3.15 W / h at Input 100-240V, 50-60Hz, 100 mA at Output 4.4 - 5.0V at 350 -440 mA.
So, the charger left in the socket silently and stealthily steals for a day up to 10-12 Wh / h. In addition, the "bachelor" with the connected phone will pull up to 4.2 W of electricity. For your reference: a charged phone consumes up to 2 watts.
The same consumption buckwheat in idle for all known types of network connectors (tees), consuming up to 5% of electricity in the apartment.
It begs the only correct conclusion - switch to energy-saving equipment and change the electricity meter to a pulse multi-tariff device and select a tariff for electricity.
Terrifying figures of electricity consumption by devices suggest that: "Maybe all turn off and go to bed at 10 pm". But you will not get enough sleep economical neighbors, wisely installed a multi-tariff counter and washing clothes at a minimum nightly fare.
you will wake me at dawn
Do not hide, wash at night and cook food on the infrared electrogrog Sardo or grill Russell Hobbs Grill & Melt equipped with quartz heating technology after midnight tiring pleasure - I want to sleep.
But the economy virus makes you sacrifice habits. We'll figure it out who benefits from installing a multi-tariff counter.
Specialists consider the installation of a multi-tariff counter "day-night" to be justifiable if, the apartment has many electric motors and units - a boiler, an air-conditioner, a boiler and a washing machine.
Getting up at dawn, you'll have to podsoetitsya and have time to wash clothes. Consuming a lot of electricity is more profitable to move the share of energy consumption at night.
For apartments with low power consumption, the installation of a multi-tariff meter acquires a long payback period and a minimum percentage of benefits.
Can it safely shift energy saving problems to the powerful shoulders of new technologies?
In the light of new technologies
Known and proven way to adjust the home appliances modes on / off. consider functional dimmers that control the intensity of illumination.
The advantages of automatic remote control of the dimmer via the signal transmission channels are presented here.

Energy-saving appliances and equipment of the European standard are in demand today. For example, for washing machines of the energy-saving lineup of the LG brand and Indesit, a washing algorithm is implemented that determines the amount of water from the load volume. Optimal wash time and water heating temperature reduce costs and save electricity.
Recall that the potential savings in energy consumption of refrigerators depends on the intensity of its operation and the volume of filling products. In addition, the energy consumption class with respect to obsolete models also makes it possible to save up to 500 rubles per year.

So extinguish the light!
