What are the methods and routines to save electricity when living alone?

I really have a lot to say about saving electricity! Because of the house I rented, I once received a dollar! The reason why we rent a house is so expensive is simply because we have just entered the society and have no concept of electricity price! It wasn't until a month later that I received a 400 yuan electricity bill! For the first time in my life, I have an intuitive understanding of "daily necessities are expensive".

But I have moved in, and I am satisfied with everything except the electricity price. I may not find a better house when I move out, so I began to scrimp and save money! On the premise of ensuring basic living, my electricity bill has been reduced from 400 yuan to 100-200 a month, with the air conditioner on 200 and the air conditioner off 100.

The following is my experience of saving electricity, and friends in need can refer to it ~

1. Save time-understand the "time-sharing tariff" policy.

Many people may not know that at different times of the day, the charging standard of electricity is different. For example, in Jiangsu where I live, the electricity price is 0.3583 yuan/kwh from 2 1: 00 to 8: 00. 8:00-2 1:00, electricity price: 0.5583 yuan/kwh. At one time, the electricity price difference in 0.2 yuan was 500 kWh a month, which was nearly 100 yuan.

Therefore, in the long run, you can save a sum of money by leaving the projects that use more electricity at night.

Like me, I usually wash clothes, make soup and boil hot water at night. Especially hot water, although it lasts only a few minutes at a time, can't be burned every day, sometimes several times a day. To this end, I specially bought a 2L thermos bottle and burned a pot every night to fully ensure the hot water supply the next day.

2. Save from the source-learn to buy electrical appliances

Buying electrical appliances must look at power and energy consumption.

The greater the power, the more power consumption; The less energy consumption, the less power consumption.

Regarding motivation, let me help you review junior high school physics first. 1KW electric appliance consumes one degree of electricity after continuous use for one hour.

Then popularize a thermal knowledge: the power of electrical appliances is not proportional to the size of objects.

I didn't pay attention to this when I first rented a house, so I bought a hot water treasure with a faucet on it, which was bigger. As a result, the electricity bill rose by dozens of dollars that month, and later it was discovered that this gadget actually had 4000w! I dare not use it again. Maybe many people have no idea about 4000w W, so I'll give you some references.

The power of domestic electric water heater is about 3000W, the power of domestic air conditioner is about 1000W, and the power of electric blanket is about100 W. ..

This small hot water treasure consumes 0.5 hours of electricity, which is equivalent to 2.5 hours for refrigeration and air conditioning, 2 hours for heating and air conditioning, and 0/5 hour for double electric blankets, which is the highest energy consumption among small household appliances I have ever seen.

As for energy consumption, this general air-conditioning water heater is posted, with 1 being the best and 5 being the worst.

Someone has done experiments. Take an air conditioner with a nominal cooling capacity of 1.5 horsepower as an example. The power consumption of the first-class energy-efficient air conditioner is 10 hour, and that of the third-class energy-efficient air conditioner is 17 kwh. It's 4.5 degrees a day. Suppose you turn on the air conditioner for six months a year, and the difference is nearly 800 degrees a year.

3. Save a lot of things to lift your arms, and you can save a lot of electricity unconsciously.

Turn off the lights at any time. Needless to say. Unplug long-term unused electrical appliances.

Many people know the standby power consumption of electrical appliances, but they don't know how much. I found some relevant data for your reference. The power of a water heater is about 3000w W W. If the power supply is always plugged in, it will consume about 150 kWh a month. A standby TV set consumes about 15 kwh a month, and a standby air conditioner consumes about 9 kwh a month. 202 1, the average monthly electricity consumption of one person in China is only 69.3 kwh.

So, do you want to see this plug? I know that many people, like me, find it not only troublesome but also dangerous to unplug frequently. My solution is to use a patch panel and socket with a switch, which is safe and convenient.

4. Pay attention to the use of air conditioning in the use method.

Cleaning the air-conditioning filter regularly can save 4-5% of the electricity bill;

If the air conditioning temperature is too low and not cool, it may be fluoride. It doesn't cost much to find a master to add some fluorine.

Air conditioning is 26 degrees Celsius in summer and 20 degrees Celsius in winter, which is the most energy-saving temperature.

When heating, the air outlet blows more electricity in the countryside, but when cooling, it is the opposite. Adjust to sleep mode or mute mode when sleeping.

Don't switch the air conditioner on and off frequently. Air conditioning is the most energy-saving. If you just leave for a short time, it is more energy-saving to leave the air conditioner on.

The use of refrigerators is also particular. In addition to the common sense of putting things in the refrigerator after refrigeration, it is also important to defrost the refrigerator regularly. Too thick frost will affect the normal operation of the refrigerator.

5. Learn from bonus hunter.

The first is wool. Especially in summer and winter, you don't need to use the air-conditioned hot water of the unit. Anyway, we single aristocrats go back alone, so it's better to learn more and fish in the unit.

Wool comes from Gong * * * facilities. The library is my favorite place. Free, clean, quiet and the temperature is suitable. I can turn on the air conditioner and study with peace of mind. Go to the gym to wash your hair and take a bath.

Many people get fitness cards and go there less than a few times a year. Better take a bath. If you go often, it won't cost too much.

As the saying goes, many a mickle makes a mickle. These changes may seem insignificant, but they have accumulated in the long river of time and are also a lot of wealth.
