Overall, in the Residential Sector appliances are used more electrical power lamps and refrigerators, reaching over 60% of household consumption. TV sets and videos have a significant share of consumption, even lower. Also in the winter or summer, use of electric heaters or air conditioning, produce a substantial energy demand.
Some recommendations of the Energy Department's Office used to decrease power consumption while maintaining the benefits of service are:
Lighting - In lighting, the most effective is off lights not in use.
- We recommend using energy saving lamps (CFLs) in all places where incandescent lamps are more than 40W and are pinned more than 4 hours per day. While CFLs are more expensive, the cost is offset by lower power consumption and longer life (consume 20% of what it consumes an incandescent and last about 4 times).
- Select proper replacement of the incandescent lamp. Ideally will replace those with greater power and airtime. Usually these lamps are located in the kitchen, dining room or bright areas overnight.
- CFLs use only in environments where the lamps are not subject to many on and off quickly. (Ie not in bathrooms)
Refrigerators - Adjust the temperature (cold) supercooling properly to avoid consuming more energy.
- Preferably, position your fridge in a cool place. The consumption of the refrigerator is very sensitive to ambient temperature where it is located. The higher this temperature the refrigerator will consume electricity. Separate
-wall refrigerator at least 15 cm.
- Many models of refrigerators dissipate heat through the sidewalls. Sure if this is so, not to prevent this from happening by placing magnets, papers, posters etc. on these surfaces.
- Do not store hot food in the refrigerator. Allow this to cool previously.
- There are refrigerators more efficient than others, meaning that for the same capacity (size) consume up to 50% less energy. Some manufacturers of refrigerators and began publishing the data of consumption and efficiency. Seek advice when making the purchase of a new unit. Consider that this unit has a significant consumption at home so its reduction will a major impact. Standby
- Many appliances, including TVs, videos, microwaves, audio equipment, air conditioners, personal computers (PCs), etc.. continue to consume electricity even when it seems that are off. The sum of these little consumption can reach a significant value. Desenergícelos completely when not in use. Get advice from an electrician.
- All modern computer models have a power saving mode that turned off when not being used. Environmental Climate
Both in the case of air conditioning equipment, such as the of electric heaters (gas well) the most effective measures to save energy consumption are:
- Do not overheat or supercooled environments.
- Keep doors to air-conditioned environment, thus avoiding wasting energy in environments where you no lies.
- The air conditioning have different efficiencies. Sometimes a slightly higher price at the beginning has a large reward in your electric bill. Get advice on the matter.
- Avoid excessive air infiltration through doors and windows seal properly.
- If you have the ability to heat with gas and electricity should be done with caloventores use oil or radiator heaters instead of quartz.
