- One of the smart ways to use a household appliance is that while you cook you always put the covers on the dishes, so heat will be kept longer in the bowl. On the other hand you will save up to 20 percent of the energy.
- Did you know that only the fridge consumes about 25 percent of the electricity in the household? Therefore, when closing the refrigerator, make sure that the doors are firmly closed, so energy would not be unnecessarily dispersed.

- When purchasing a household appliance look for a class of energy efficiency labeled A, B, C, D, E, F, G, D. The devices labeled A consumes the least energy.
