The next few months will be really difficult from both an energy and an economic point of view. Energy bills (be it gas, electricity and light) will increase significantly, and we will therefore find ourselves having to ration their daily use in order not to run into very high and energetically unsustainable expenses.
Today we suggest some tips and tricks to save as much as possible on your energy bills, in an intelligent and conscious way. In fact, a dozen moves are enough to be able to save up to 20% on energy billsSometimes, in fact, even the simplest adjustments, which we don’t even notice in everyday life, can bring with them a considerable saving,
One of the appliances that consumes the most in daily life is undoubtedly the refrigeratorthat given its purpose (to refresh all the food we buy) it must necessarily be kept on in a perennial way, throughout the day, in order to avoid the deterioration of the food.
The first precaution we advise you to pay attention to is to take into account the energy efficiency class: since it is one of the most used appliances and the highest energy consumption, it is important that it is of energy class A +. A refrigerator that is equipped with this class, in fact, allows savings of up to 60% in energy compared to an appliance of lower energy classes.
In case we have an outdated refrigerator at home, then, our advice is to replace it with a recently built applianceleading to a drastic reduction in energy consumption.
Consumption of refrigerators
In fact, a current refrigerator of energy class A ++ consumes from 128 to 205 kWh / year, compared to the corresponding refrigerators of the 90s, which even reached peaks of 500 kWh / year. A high energy class guarantees up to a saving of 100 euros per year on our energy bills.
Another criterion to keep an eye on when buying a new refrigerator is also the choice of an adequate size: it is in fact useless to buy a large refrigerator if the family unit is composed of few elements, since a large appliance will involve a longer cooling time, and therefore a greater consumption of energy and costs on the bill.
The place where the refrigerator is positioned inside the house is also important: it must in fact be placed away from heat sources (such as the kitchen hob, radiators, electric oven), as the heat generated by them it will lead to greater energy expenditure to adequately cool the refrigerator itself. These small precautions, albeit apparently trivial, can lead to a 10% reduction in energy consumption.
