The real sting on bills is at night: when everything is off the house consumes too much.
It may seem paradoxical but savings experts point out that the real sting for Italians on electricity comes right at night.
Savings experts are pointing out how Italians are convinced that the house is at night you practically do not consume anything.
The house consumes too much at night
This is a very serious misunderstanding and also a very bad one because if you don’t realize the actual energy consumption it will be very difficult to stem it.
In reality, household appliances consume a lot at night. In principle, Italian families are convinced that at night when everything is dark and everything turned off, the appliances cannot consume absolutely nothing of energy but this is completely false. First of all, the refrigerator is always in operation and it is the refrigerator that consumes the most. But on this front, savings are possible.
A lot of waste to be corrected immediately
In fact, keeping the refrigerator away from the wall at least 10 cm it will help him to consume less. It is also very important that the refrigerator is a modern A ++ box refrigerator. In fact, these refrigerators have a low energy impact and their consumption is much lower. But if we have an old refrigerator it will in any case be possible to save by replacing the gaskets. In fact, the old gaskets cause a lot of waste and therefore also make a lot of waste on the bill. But the house consumes at night also because of the many appliances that the Italians stand-by delivery. This is a very serious mistake because leaving appliances on stand-by means consuming in an absolutely useless and absurd way.
You don’t need heating at night
Consumer protection associations strongly contest this habit of Italians. In fact even if it has been repeated many times that appliances should never be left on stand-by many still do it and this comes to weigh heavily on the bill. But you can save a lot at night heating the bed with the electric blanket and avoiding to heat the apartment. This is really important because it makes no sense (at least in part) to heat the whole house at night when you can heat only the bed without spending almost anything with the electric blanket. So the real savings for Italian families can come right at night by putting in place those behaviors that are perhaps unsuspected but can go so far as to eliminate completely useless waste.
