Soon everyone will know someone in their circle of acquaintances or family who talks about electricity and gas. The crisis is the country’s biggest concern. The “Krone” has gathered some useful help…
There are many ways to save without losing wealth. The “Krone” has summarized some very useful tricks:
Tips for the kitchen
A quarter of the hot water consumption in our households is used in the kitchen. It pays to only turn on the dishwasher when it is full. Power guzzlers include refrigerators and freezers, which consume approximately one kilowatt-hour per day. In any case, it is important to set the temperature correctly. Seven degrees is usually sufficient in the refrigerator, which saves 15 percent electricity compared to a temperature of five degrees. It is equally important to locate the freezer away from heat sources such as stoves or radiators, if possible.
If you have a solar system, you can integrate it into the hot water circuit and switch for the washing machine and dishwasher. The energy experts at GLOBAL 2000 have calculated that this saves an additional 30 percent energy when using a dishwasher, for example.
Hot topic heating
Each pot has its own lid, which helps to further reduce household costs. Heating also has huge savings potential. The big question of whether or not you should turn off the heating completely when you are away is answered in the negative by experts. It is best to return. Because heating a cold room on return costs more energy in total. This winter we are going to work on how warm we keep our four walls. Many waiting rooms are kept cool this year. According to Verbund, if it is only 16 instead of 20 degrees in the anteroom, this results in energy savings of at least 26 percent. And: Permanently tiltable windows ensure that a lot of heat is lost. Shock ventilation is more efficient.
Drivers should also pay attention: new apps lead you to economical filling stations at any time of the day or night. Other apps can help with the horrendous costs of parking and garages, especially in big cities.
