With the price of electricity at all-time highs and just a few days before fall arrives, it is worth knowing a series of tips and tricks to save energy at this time of year . Take note!
Natural light
Days are getting shorter and shorter, so it’s more important than ever to make the most of natural sunlight in the morning. We must raise the blinds well and open the curtains to let the light into the house . It is something very simple but it really helps to raise the interior temperature.
Radiators
Now is the best time to bleed the radiators and get the heating system working at full capacity . We have to carry out this task in all the radiators in the house to extract the accumulated air.
It is advisable to do it once a year , when we are going to turn on the heating for the first time after the summer months.
If we do not purge the radiators, they will not radiate the heat they should and the boiler will be forced to work at higher power in order to maintain the temperature at which we have programmed the thermostat .
Heating
Even if we get home very cold from the street, we should never turn the heat on above 21 degrees. Starting this season, for every degree that we raise the temperature, the electricity bill becomes more expensive by 7% . In addition, it is harmful to health because the air dries out. At night, the ideal is that the temperature is between 15 and 17 degrees.
Aparatos en Stand-By
The so-called silent consumption of appliances is more expensive than we think. Turning off everything that remains on Stand-By, such as the television or the computer, can mean a saving of 52 euros per year.
Smart plugs
Smart plugs allow us to have control of all connected devices. They are very useful to save on the electricity bill because, by being able to control the heating, radiators and other appliances, we will no longer have to be aware of turning them off or on remotely. There are even models that provide information on consumption .
LED bulbs
And, finally, it is convenient that we place low consumption LED bulbs, which allow us to save more than 80% of energy without losing luminosity.
These are the best tricks to save on your electricity bill in the fall !
