  2. For example, it is strictly not recommended to place a refrigerator on the sunny side of the kitchen, close to heating devices and radiators, to a gas or electric stove.
  3. If there are heat sources nearby, the refrigerator will start to slow down.The camera, in turn, will try to maintain marking at the right level.This will lead to high light costs.
  4. It is also important to stick to the temperature marking in the kitchen room.The optimal mode is the 19-21 degree indicator.It is this temperature that will allow the refrigerator to function without unnecessary effort.
  5. Do not neglect the elementary rules for the care of the technique.Make thaw, release the camera from strong pieces of ice.Replace the rubber door seals so that the refrigerator always remains sealed.

Electricity Save Tips

How to save electricity in an apartment
  1. Wipe the chandeliers.Keep the incandescent bulbs and ceilings in pure condition.If the dust is constantly accumulating on them, the lighting of the room will fall significantly.You will start to turn on more and more light, increasing costs.Pure chandeliers are much more efficient to scatter light, so you can use incandescent lamps with a lower power.
  2. Wash the windows.Do the windows as often as possible.Pure glasses will allow the sunlight to penetrate the apartment so it will cost natural light.Hence the need to use electricity in large quantities will disappear.In addition, the sun will warm the room in the cold season.
  3. Combine lighting devices.Do not only use the "upper" light if you need to work on the table in the far corner of the room.Combine chandeliers with floor lamps or table lamps.If the upper light turns on the incandescent value of 3-5 lamps, unscrew the excess, leave 2 pcs.
  4. Use modern devices.To date, there are many devices that serve to save electricity.These include motion sensors (light is switched on and off automatically), infrared gates, light regulators with a smooth change in lighting, digital switches, pulse relay.
  5. Change the bulbs.Conventional incandescent lamps consume 5-8 times more electricity than their fluorescent, compact and LED relatives.Replace all the bulbs in the house with energy.A similar move will be true as you can save about 40% annually in accounts.
  6. Turn off the "extra" light.Take the habit of turning off the lamps when you leave the room.Agree with the household that you have entered the saving mode from now on.This does not mean that you should sit in the dark for hours.You just don't need to illuminate a room where there is no one.This is especially true for children, the younger generation is not worried about the family budget because of age.
  7. Boil the water properly.If you need to warm the stove, pour hot water.Cover the plates with a lid and disappear to the desired sign.In this case, the bottom of the plates should be tightly in contact with the burner.As for the kettle, do not fill the entire cavity with water.Boil as much liquid as required to cook 2-3 cups of tea.Pour the remains of hot water into a thermos, then drink it.

Watch how you use household appliances.Give up to load the nest phones, do the same with a non -working microwave, a slow stove, a coffee machine.Do not install the refrigerator to the radiators, cook the water in the kettle in small portions.
