Top 7 ways to save on electricity from Kyivteploenergo

How to save not only energy itself, but also money. This was reported in Telegram Kyivteploenergo.

Here are the tips:

• The refrigerator should be away from the stove and radiators. Due to the high temperature, the load on the compressor increases, which leads to the use of more electricity and to a decrease in the life of the device. The distance from the refrigerator to the wall must be at least 5 cm. An incorrectly positioned refrigerator consumes up to 30% more energy.
• Load the washing machine to the permitted maximum. At partial load, almost the same amount of energy is consumed as at full load. Pay attention to the washing temperature, because 90% of the energy goes into heating the water. Also, download the dishwasher to the maximum.
• Boil only the required amount of water in the kettle. Also, regularly descale it - this will increase thermal conductivity and reduce energy consumption.
• Ironing start with those things that require a lower temperature, then increase the temperature and continue ironing other things.
• Set the boiler to the optimum temperature. If it is too high, these are extra costs and additional load on the device. Do not turn off the boiler from the network, because less energy is spent on maintaining the temperature than heating from scratch.
• When cooking on the electric stove, use cookware with a lid. Food will cook faster and use less electricity. Switch off the burner a few minutes before cooking.

If possible, replace all household appliances with economical ones with energy efficiency class A, A+, A++ or A+++, Kyivteploenergo added.
