Ten ways to save money in a private house

How much do you think owners would like to move into private homes? The results of the social.polls — more than 70%. However, in addition to the attractiveness of the private houses have their disadvantages, which include the considerable costs of home maintenance and repair.

And the numbers in a communal apartment in graphs for electricity, water, gas, etc. may become four-digit amounts. And so today we want to share tips for saving the contents of the house.

1. Wall insulationthe Most economical and easiest option is the device multilayer plaster system. In this method, on the exterior wall there is the installation teploizoljatsionnyh plates (you can use mineral wool or polystyrene foam), and the top is placed a reinforcing mesh and then the base and decorative layers of plaster.





Another way but more complicated and expensive — ventilated facades. On the exterior wall-mounted vapor-permeable mineral wool, after on a special metal frame mounted facing panels of different materials (metal, stone, etc.). Between the plates and materials with thermal insulation it is necessary to leave a small air gap, it will perform the role of a thermal cushion, and saves the insulation from moisture.

2. Replacement WindowsWindows and balcony doors are weak points in any home. If you have an old wooden box, then using them is up to 70% of heat loss. So be sure to install the modern Windows of PVC. Sealed single or double glazing with the contours of the seals protects against drafts.





3. The roof insulationIf you have a poorly insulated roof, she also takes up a large part of the heat. Today, in the opinion of the majority of professional builders, the best way to insulate a roof is the installation of light mineral wool in the spacer between the rafters. The attic after such work can be cozy with mansardi. If the attic to keep cold, you will need to insulate the floors and ceilings of living rooms, but it is less effective than the above method.





4. The choice of heating boilerIf the boiler is to produce responsible, it is possible to reduce in the future the cost of fuel for him. If you buy too powerful a boiler, it will burn the fuel without much effect. To expect about need figure 1-1.2 kW heat output for 10 sqm area of the house. Try to find a model with automatic power adjustment.

5. Optimization of heating systemsVery convenient to install balancing valve in each room to distribute an equal amount of heat. This solution should be used in building higher than one floor or in complex heating system (if installed warm floor, in different rooms are of different size radiators, etc.). after the installation of automatic controllers you can set and maintain any temperature from 6 to 26 degrees. If some rooms are empty, then they can reduce the temperature, and all the rest to supply comfortable and reduce the heat consumption up to 20%.

6. Install economical ventilationTile ventilation, needed to house, spends almost half of all electricity. And when the exhaust air is discharged outside, together with him out of the house takes the heat. To reduce the energy consumption, it is useful to set the ventilation system heat recovery. The exchanger is the exchanger, inside of which the heat energy of the removed exhaust air is used to heat the incoming supply air, thus fresh air in the house gets heated. The effectiveness of these devices is 50-70%, making the heat loss through ventilation is halved.

7. Light bulb replacement, According to statistics, at least a quarter of electricity consumed for lighting of premises and territories, and more than half of this is wasted. Installation of modern energy efficient light bulbs will help save the expenditure of electricity. When odinakovoi brightness is 5 times less energy, and service life is increased 10-15 times.





8. Electropribory should be energy-efficientonly consume More electricity appliances — whether it is at least a fridge, even a kettle. Therefore, the acquisition devices Obratite attention to the energy efficiency class. Today there are seven groups: A to G (the most economical).

9. Air conditioning — cost efficientPower conditioning is 700-1200 kW, which makes them one of the most energy-consuming appliances. Therefore, the choice of air conditioners give preference to vehicles of class A and models with the function of the heat pump that allows them to run on air cooling, and water heating.

10. Don't forget about countersIf your home is connected to gas network to district heating systems and the water supply to save be sure to install the meters and pay only for resources actually consumed, while reducing the cost of utilities. published

 

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