What kind of light bulbs you have screwed into the apartment, room or house? What devices do you use? How often do you use "hibernate"? Decided to do the repair and wiring schematics already thought of? Here you can see how many question you can ask yourself. And most importantly, answers to them will help you to save.





Today we live in a consumer society. It is impossible to imagine modern house without a huge fridge, a washing machine with multiple functions, multiple computers, camera, hair dryer and other devices for hair styling, and the kitchen appliances so that they will transfer page. Stores are constantly offering us new products. Nothing dates so quickly as domestic appliances, it seems, will not have time to buy one miracle gadget, and has released a new model. They are becoming better, easier and simpler to use. And more economical! So when you go to another Paradise, please note on models with reduced power consumption. Devices with the lowest power consumption are labelled A++ followed by A+, A, and then in descending order — C, D, E, F, G. of Course, the more economical the device, there is more expensive it is. But remember that you are buying it for a single year, so the difference in price will pay for itself by saving electricity.





You have no idea how many tricks you can use in a normal kitchen! Today, many people replace the gas stove electric or immediately enter the house, where gas consumption is excluded. Of course, electric plates and oven there is a special rate, but you can save even with it.

  • When cooking, choose a dish, the bottom of which corresponds to the size of plates! Otherwise, you lose 5-10% of energy. To save energy, we need a pan with a bottom that is equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of the burner.
  • Keep pots and pans lids! Lid open, water evaporates faster, thereby lengthening the cooking time by 20-30%. Equally, increased consumption of electricity for cooking.
  • After boiling, switch to the low-temperature regime!Electricity for cooking will be spent less, and the taste of the dish will not suffer, and it is even faster to cook.




Many refuse kettles in the kitchen, thinking that "they eat a lot of electricity." This is true, if you pour the full volume of water — typically 1.5-2 liters and constantly heated it when you want to drink a Cup of tea. Try to pour exactly as much water as you need based on the volume of the Cup or teapot.

The situation is similar to microwave: to reheat already cooked food is much cheaper than to do the same thing on the stove (assuming it's electric).

Try to use these rules at least a month and compare the electricity bills. And other tricks we'll tell you.published

P. S. And remember, only by changing their consumption — together we change the world! ©
