If you intend to buy new electrical appliance such as refrigerator, washing machine, air conditioner, prefer the ones with the highest energy class (A ++, A +++). The initial price may be higher but depreciation is done very quickly by significant energy savings.

  • All devices (televisions, computers, etc.) should be switched off by the power switch and not left in standby mode because they continue to consume power.

When using the washing machine, set the temperature around to 30-40οC.

  • During the preparation of the meal, the cooking pots should be applied exactly to the hearth’s surface.
  • Adjust the refrigerator thermostat according to the manufacturer’s instructions and avoid opening the door frequently or for a long time.

Avoid placing the refrigerator near appliances that emit heat (radiators, electric stove) but also in places with sun radiation because it consumes extra energy for cooling.

  • Create natural airflow behind the refrigerator to dissipate heat which helps increase efficiency.

In winter, adjust the thermostat of the radiator or air conditioner to a constant temperature (ideally around 18-20οC). Consumption of 10% more energy is required for each additional degree over the setpoint.
