Faced with soaring electricity prices, consumers are increasingly careful about their consumption.
Here are some tips to reduce the amount of the bill:
- Ensure that the home is well insulated.
- Use real-time consumption monitoring.
- Unplug all electrical appliances (box, television, charger...).
By unplugging your Internet box at night, you can save up to 30 dollars per year, or 2.5 dollars per month.
- Cover pots and pans to speed up cooking: it saves up to 25% of energy during cooking.
- Check energy labels before purchasing a new electrical product.
- Rely as much as possible on off-peak hours, which can offer up to 40% off the initial cost.
- Set the temperature of the hot water tank to approximately 50°C.
- Use the "eco" programs for the dishwasher and the washing machine.
The cycle will be longer but will require less energy.
Another tip: choose small TV sets.
A 160 cm diagonal TV set consumes 3 times more than 4 80 cm TV sets.
