A big issue in many Mexican homes is the consumption of electrical energy …
A great theme within many Mexican homes (and in many parts of the world) is the consumption of electrical energy. We constantly look for the options that make us reduce electricity bills and contribute to give our planet a break.
What many of us don’t know is that we can start to create certain habits that day after day will make us notice a difference in the excessive cost of electricity and, although appear to be very small changes, over time they become determining factors for our life style.
Today in this post we have some recommendations that will be of great help in and outside the home, and they will also create a little more awareness in saving energy. We ensure that if you adopt these habits, little by little you will see a difference in your modus vivendi and in your daily expenses.
Replace traditional bulbs with energy-saving bulbs
Did you know that a halogen bulb consumes much more energy than an energy saving bulb? In addition, they emit much more heat, which causes your home to feel much warmer. Energy saving bulbs are more expensive, however they are a much more sensible investment since energy saving bulbs have a useful life that goes from 8,000 to 10,000 hours.
Make the most of sunlight
It seems like a trite topic, but electrical power consumption can be quite reduced if we made the most of the sunlight. Remember that we have the Summer time, which allows us to make better use of natural light and let the bulbs rest for a while.
Unplug appliances that are not in use
There are appliances like the refrigerator that definitely cannot be unplugged, but you can disconnect all those that are not always in use such as the blender, the toaster or VCR, Bluray or DVD.
A much more efficient option is to disconnect everything that is not in use when you sleep, for example the computer or even chargers of mobile devices.
Measures time usage in minisplits and air purifiers
Something that for many it is inevitable to use has become an impressive expense in recent years. Cooling devices such as the minisplit account for a large percentage of the total consumption of a household this season; We know that the heat does not give up, but we must also be a little more aware and not generate unnecessary expenses.
One solution may be to implement low impact fans and alternate it with the appliances that consume energy much more aggressively. You will have a cool environmentbut with a lot less guilt.
Use insulation for your home
A thermal insulator is something that we should consider much more normally in our home. Despite being a great investment, it becomes an ally for your family as it represents a much cooler environment at home, so the high-impact cooling appliances take a backseat and energy savings are made much more tangible.
These are some of the recommendations that you can implement at home. Slowly you will see an important change reflected both in the way you use electricity as well as in the consumption and expenditure of it.How about starting to live in a much smarter way? We assure you that you and your family will appreciate it.
