It is difficult to imagine the world today without electricity. Every day, at work, at home, and everywhere, electricity is used many times and in different ways. Because our life depends so much on this type of energy, the consumer must be aware of both the benefits and the dangers that may result from misusing it.
The issue of rationalizing electricity does not mean compromising comfort. It is possible to take advantage of all the benefits that energy provides in the right way without wasting it. Here are some good practical tips to help rationalize the use of electricity.
Lamps-Whenever possible, fluorescent lamps that last longer and use less energy should be used.-Lighting lamps during the day should be avoided and more natural light should be used.-Walls should be painted with bright colors that reflect the light thus reducing the need for artificial lighting.-Lights that are not being used should be switched off, except those that contribute to the consumer´s safety.
Air Conditioning
Rationalizing the use of air conditioners make a good difference in the energy bill, especially in summer when the air conditioners account for one third of the power consumption of the household._The appliance should be unplugged when the room is vacated._Windows and doors should be closed when the appliance is on.Electric Iron The electric iron should only be connected when there is a lot of clothing to iron.Connecting the electric iron when many appliances are connected should be avoided. It overloads the electrical supply system.The iron should not be left on unless there is a need.The temperature instructions for each type of clothing should be followed.The temperature in the case of automatic irons should be adjusted. The most delicate garments must be ironed first. At the end, after the iron having been turned off the heat of the iron can be used to iron some light clothing.
