To start saving, first you will have to spend an infantry on the arrangement of your apartment in such a way that in the future you have to make a minimum of effort to savings. Some tricks, such as energy-saving lamps or metering devices, pay off quickly enough-in one or two years, others (double-glazed windows, batteries) will not immediately justify their value, but they will last many years by faith and truth, helping you save and making life more Comfortable.
In the summer, for the heat in the apartment, we do not have to pay anything exactly, but in winter – a completely different matter. Ideally, the batteries should be indoors, and not inside the wall. It is even better if they have a valve to regulate heating – then you can independently control the temperature in your apartment and its individual rooms. And, accordingly, save, turning off heating when you leave for a long time. If the batteries are walled up into the wall, then only the insulation of the construction thermal shuttle of the outer wall of the building will help. However, this issue is not solved simply at the request of the tenant, since the thermaloshub itself, and the process of its attachment is quite expensive.
What can be done without the permission of the housing and communal services? In order not to spend the degrees in vain, for starters, it is worth replacing all the old windows with double -glazed windows, which, due to their tightness, maintain heat inside the housing. It also does not hurt to update the front door: if there are cracks between the door leaf and jambs, all the heated air can be blown through them with a draft. Keeping heat in the house, you save on additional heating with the help of additional radiators, as well as protect the most valuable – your health.
Another important nuance is water consumption. Renovating all the plumbing, eliminating the flow and – necessarily! – by installing water meters, you can significantly save on payment of utilities. And if at the same time always completely load the washing and dishwasher and turn on the economy-mode, then the accounts for water and electricity will become noticeably smaller. But the electric kettle, on the contrary, should not be filled in full: boil the water exactly as much as you need, so you will reduce both water consumption and electricity at the same time.
In summer, one of the optimal ways to save electricity is clean windows. Dirty glass can delay up to 40% sunlight, and very dirty – up to 70%! Naturally, the residents of the house compensate for the lack of natural light by electric light. Any energy -saving device also makes its contribution to home savings – from the light bulb to the refrigerator. Almost all modern technology has a decreased energy consumption regimes, you just don’t have to read the instructions where everything is described in detail.
These are just the simplest ways to preserve the home budget, which, nevertheless, with constant use of them, help to save considerable amounts!
