Special gadgets and energy. Save energy at home

Now that the government has been sparing in the road, not a bad time to give a turn to the issue of domestic savings, particularly in regard to cutting the electricity bill. A low-tech that we, our home is inhabited by dozens of electrical devices that consume their daily ration of watts. In this special we do a little review with tips to prevent that diet is more than is strictly necessary.

What better to start than the devices that consume more electricity in the home with a difference: the white line. Refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers and ovens are real specialists in drinking outlets. In this segment, no advice other than common sense. In the case of refrigerators, we can cite the following: special mention of the heat-generating appliances such as stoves, electric heaters, irons or dryers.

All of them consume large amounts of energy, so it is best to always use them sparingly, keep them as clean as possible and disconnect several minutes before you stop using them to harness the residual heat. As far as washing machines and dishwashers are concerned, the advice to use more environmentally friendly are also appliances, but not exclusive of the kitchen are air conditioning systems.

Aside from not putting a stop, the only way to save energy with these dishes is to have the best insulated house can heat in the summer and cold in winter. Sometimes, just put insulation in windows and under doors, or keep the blinds closed as possible to avoid having to rely as much to him.

Regardless of this advice, should reflect the purchase of a domestic appliance. Washing machines, refrigerators or dishwashers Class A (those who consume less) are usually much more expensive, but consume about 40% less in average annual bill. In other words, in three or four years we amortized cost which meant we buy them and usually buy the white line to last a few years at home.

Besides entering the Class A energy efficiency is always good to look at consumption in watts of the appliance as a feature to compare. There are brands that develop specific technologies to further reduce consumption, although expensive, are always welcome. It is considered that the lighting can account for between 15% and 30% of the electricity bill of a home.

This ratio varies depending on the light that is where we live and therefore the amount of natural light that we can exploit. The most effective advice we can give lighting seems a typical mother board, but it's true: turning off lights when you come out of a room. In this sense it is said that some bulbs are best left turned on because they consume much more energy in the process of igniting.

In fact this peak consumption is so short it is still better off, unless we go back in a few seconds. If we are forgetful branch, we can acquire some of the new bulbs already contain their own presence detector to be activated or deactivated. This type of bulbs are ideal for traffic areas like hallways or foyers, or bathrooms.

The second obvious advice is to change the old incandescent light bulbs or LEDs as soon as possible. The installation of these items reduces the consumption of the lighting up to 80%. Of appliances and lights we got to the room where the computer, television or home console are the masters of consumption.

According to the Ministry of Industry, the TV than to computers in electricity consumption, reaching peaks of up to 13% of global electricity consumption. In reality this figure is due more to the vast park that still exists and that older TVs in many homes the television is used more than the computer.

Small things can do to lower utility costs than the TV does not turn if we do not see anything concrete. If we are to change the device, the new LED TV promises savings of up to 40% over traditional. As for the computer, it all depends on what type of equipment is. Large desktop consume much more power than, say, a laptop.

In this regard, apart from having the system active power saving operating system does not hurt to turn off the screen directly when we are away for a while. With respect to other devices, enter the debate over the standby or consumption that is generated when the device enters standby mode.

Some put the cost at around 100 euros per year in electricity bills. In many cases need not be so pronounced. Here it is best to get used to shut down the computer completely. If we have a lot of gossip, strips and devices for connecting multiple devices and off in the block are a good help.

The truth is that the issue of energy saving at home is an issue that can reportanos ending for a change, joy in the electricity bill.
