🏚 Energy efficiency tips – part 2

6. Use a timer
When you sleep or will be out of the room for a whole day or even longer period of time use the timer of your cooling or heating equipment to keep the inside room temperature lower.
The timer can be used to turn on or turn off your equipment at a proper time.

7. Dry your clothes by a natural way
One of the good ways to dry your clothes is to use the natural way instead of the dry machine.
If you use the washing machine dryer it will increase your electricity bill.
So the better option is to hang the clothes outside and leave them in the sundry or to hang them in a “dry room” and let them dry in a natural way.

8. Unplug all unused devices
It’s important to know and to keep in mind that all electrical appliances use electricity even if they are in sleep mode.
So just unplug the sockets when the device is not in use. It will be good to do it even at nighttime when you are going to go to bed.

8. Computer monitor
If you still use the large type monitor (as CRT) it’s time to replace it.
The CRT screens use more energy than the LCD monitors type.
Aside from consuming less energy it will improve your workspace and is better for your eyes.

9. Refrigerator / freezer
Don’t leave open for a long time the door of the refrigerator and a freezer.

Don’t put inside the refrigerator and freezer warm food or meal.

10. Install an exhaust fan in your kitchen
During the cooking, the exhaust fan can help a lot in blowing the hot air from the place (not only the smoke and smell). It can help you to save energy, especially during the summertime. Using the exhaust fan reduces the energy for cooling.
