10 strategies to save energy

• Buy efficient electrical appliances

Older devices are often less efficient. If you can, replace it with newer hardware and an energy efficient PROCEL seal. Look for more efficient models and forces.

Take a bath for a maximum of five minutes. By spending a lot of time showering, you waste water and consume a lot of electricity, especially in the winter. Also prioritize a “warm” or “summer” mode on hot days.

• Watch your cell phone charger

Never leave the mobile phone charger unattended or after the device is fully charged. In addition to preventing household accidents, it consumes electricity.

In addition to being comfortable for the eyes, taking advantage of natural daylight helps reduce wasted energy. Avoid turning on lights in environments that are already naturally lit, and prefer places with large windows and bright walls.

• Avoid “ready” devices

Do not leave devices turned on in Standby mode. There is no need to continue consuming energy if you are not using it. Unplug the device when not in use.

Always give preference to LED lights. Consume up to 80% less than traditional bulbs,

• Use the timer function on TVs

Avoid sleeping while the TV is on. Use the ‘timer’ or ‘sleep’ function to stop it by itself.

• Use the refrigerator efficiently

Avoid using the back of the refrigerator or freezer to dry clothes and clothing. Always check the condition of the sealing rubber and avoid opening the door at all times.

• Iron clothes in one go

Gather as many clothes as possible for ironing and always use the set temperature for each type of fabric. Leave light clothes to iron with the iron off.

Bare or exposed wires can cause accidents and contribute to power loss. It is recommended to change it urgently.
