Unplug electrical appliances at night. Everything is clear here: the longer the light is on, the more you will have to pay. If a forgotten lamp burns all night, you will have to pay 4 rubles at the tariff. If you forget to turn off the light every night, 1,460 rubles will run up in a year.
If you often forget to turn off the lights in common areas, motion sensors will help you save money.
How not to save on electricity
Install energy saving light bulbs. Energy-saving lamps shine in the same way and consume 5-10 times less energy. They are of two types: fluorescent and LED. LEDs are more expensive, but they immediately turn on at full power (no need to wait until they warm up) and “live” for almost 6 years.
Use the correct ovenware. Cookware for the electric stove should have a thick and flat bottom. If the bottom is thin, then when heated, it may lose its shape, it will take longer to heat up, and as a result, you will overpay for the dishes.
Place the refrigerator correctly. The refrigerator should not be placed wherever necessary. For example, if you install it near a hot battery, it will consume more power, overheat, and may deteriorate.
Load the washing machine with laundry according to the rules. If you violate the rules for loading the machine, there will be more electricity consumption, laundry or the machine may deteriorate. Most washing machines are designed for 3.5-6 kg of laundry.
