Effective EnergySaving Tips at Home Zalmen Pollak


Introduction Saving energy at home is very important nowadays due to the increase of electricity charges which can be a great burden to average households. Saving energy is possible in many effective ways so that you don’t have to worry about paying high electricity expenses.


Follow Regular Maintenance Some appliances need to be cleaned and adjusted regularly. You should consider a periodical maintenance of your air conditioners, furnace, refrigerator and other appliances that need to be cleaned and adjusted in order to be always in good operating condition.


Be Informed and Aware Know the energy cost for each and every electrical appliance you have. Check out manual guides and learn to adjust the hours you use each appliance depending on the power usage.


Wash Once or Twice a Week Do your laundry when your laundry container is already fully loaded. You can save energy if you only wash your clothes in full loads. Another thing is to turn the knob to cold when doing the routine laundry as it will lessen the energy consumed in washing your clothes thus save more energy.


Use Rechargeable Batteries and Laptop Computer The rechargeable battery can cost you less and can help you save energy compared to using disposable batteries. That is also proven that the laptop computer is more practical to use with than desktop computers as you can use the battery of your laptop when working and will only plug it to the electric source if the battery is already empty compared to a desktop computer that always needs to be connected to an electrical power source.


Turn off Appliances When not in Use This is a common, yet very important energy-saving tip. Never neglect to turn off appliances including your personal computer when not used. Even the lights in a room should be turned off when no one’s inside. This could definitely help you lessen energy consumption and reduce your electric expenses.


Look for Energy Star and Energy Guide Tags When buying new appliances, you should never fail to check for energy star and energy guide labels. Appliances with these Energy Star labels are proven and tested to be energyefficient. This is the standard mark for appliances that have undergone checking by the government. As well, Energy Guide label can provide you the energy consumption of the appliance you acquired so that you will be aware.


Defrost Refrigerator for Better Running Condition Set the perfect time to defrost your refrigerator or deep freeze once a week or as needed, particularly when you realized that the ice is slowly increasing. More energy is consumed when there is thick ice build up in your refrigerator.
