Guidelines for saving energy at home

Both at the level of saving for the family and to take care of the environment the energy saving is a fundamental concept. For these reasons, we must all be aware of responsible consumption.

Here are some ideas to save energy in our homes.

Electricity

Having adjusted the contracted power to the minimum necessary is very important, since in this way we will only spend what we need and in addition it can be reduced in the consumption of the electrical appliances :

-Disconnecting the stand-by from all appliances. It is what is called silent consumption. They are devices that are not turned on but not turned off.

- Unplugging the devices whenever possible (computer, television, laptops ...)

- Unplugging the chargers when they are not in use.

We can also bet on tariffs with time discrimination.

Lighting

Appliances

Experts recommend regulating the heating at a constant temperature of 20 degrees in winter and air conditioning between 24 and 26 degrees in summer, as well as cleaning the filters frequently.

When we are not at home it is not convenient to leave the heating or the air conditioning on and it should turn off twenty minutes before leaving the house.
