Save Energy at Home

The strategies for operating energy savings are numerous. From the energy savings associated with heating to that for appliances. We talk about saving energy even when you reduce fuel consumption. We see the handbook of rules necessary to save energy in your home without making any sacrifice.

To save money on your electric bill you can act in different ways, in the past, we have seen how to save electricity with the proper use of appliances. Today, we start now with the ten rules to save energy at home, without making sacrifices.

1. The heater in the home: you set the temperature to around 19°C. This is the ideal temperature for the home, also at night when we are in bed, we can lower the temperature by three degrees without being affected by this change. Every time we increase the temperature by one degree, fuel consumption rises steeply and then weighs on our bill.

2. It is very useful to use a programmable thermostat that allows you to set a schedule to lower the temperature automatically when you reach a certain threshold. When the house is too hot, open the door or the window will only dissipate heat and consume electricity unnecessarily.

3. Check doors and windows, either use the appropriate bearings to limit drafts. Thermal insulation is the greatest ally of the energy savings so that you assign it based on the energy classes of buildings.

4. When you want to ” get away “, do not let the semi-open window for a very long time. For proper ventilation, you can just totally throw open the window for a few minutes. On average, it can be said that a complete change of air in a room, it can be done in about 3 minutes.

5. To maintain temperature, it is good to heat or cool each room. Keep the bedroom door open and the radiator on the corridor, will not help much. Each room should have its own heating/cooling autonomous.

6. To avoid wastage you can install valves or thermostatic. The most effective are those that must be installed on the electronic heaters to maintain the right temperature in each room of the house, so as not to unnecessarily consume electricity.

7. Consult the regulation of your climate zone. Each climate zone reports a year and a total of maximum hours for the use of heaters. Be sure to stay within these hours and to only use the heating periods shown.

8. If the boiler is broken, fix it considered instead of buying a high-efficiency boiler. To save energy can also be used condensing boilers and heat pumps.

9. Take care of the radiator periodically venting the air from them.

10. Not only, but the radiators should also be bled periodically. Do not forget to make the necessary maintenance of the boiler. Some controls are also provided by the current regulations so as to ensure proper performance of the boiler but also greater home security.
