This article will look at how it is possible to do many little things in the spring, which will ultimately bring significant benefits to your homes’ energy efficiency and the number of bills.
During the winter days, we all want to heat our homes as well as possible while saving as much money as possible. However, we also want to save some money in our wallets in the spring, and here are some valuable tips on achieving this. In winter, to save money, it is enough to reduce the thermostat by one degree to save five percent of energy, but you can do it also in spring and summer because during the day you can completely turn off the heating or put it in weaker mode. In the spring, ventilate your home often for natural cooling. Open the windows in the evening to fill the space with cooler air, which will make your sleep more comfortable and your wallet fuller at the end of the month. There are a few more useful tricks. Stop washing dishes by hand. Did you know that your dishwasher consumes less water than a manual dishwasher? Use the dishwasher only when it is full of dishes. Please avoid the dishwasher drying program as it consumes extra energy. You will also save money by connecting the dishwasher to a hot water connection instead of cold water, as most of the energy is spent on heating the water. This is especially recommended if you heat water with solar collectors or a gas boiler.
In the spring, use as much natural light as possible. Always make sure you turn off lights you don’t need regularly. It is nice to have fleshy green plants like cactus in the living space because they are excellent air purifiers. This was confirmed by NASA, which found in its research that these plants can eliminate up to 87 percent of harmful substances found in paints and varnishes. In addition, houseplants improve concentration and memory and reduce stress. These plants also eliminate toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene, primarily found in carpets, cigarette smoke, plastic bags, books, etc. Always buy energy class A household appliances because energy class A appliances and lighting fixtures consume up to 40% less energy than the same energy class D appliances.
Today you can get washing machines that wash from 3 to 7 kg of laundry. So please choose the one that suits your washing needs and use it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Washing a full laundry drum is much more energy-efficient than two washes of a half-filled drum. In the case of an overloaded drum, the laundry will not be washed properly. Always choose a laundry program with the lowest water temperature enough for your laundry to be cleaned properly. Remember that today’s laundry detergents successfully remove impurities even at lower washing temperatures. If possible, always use the washing machine at lower rates. Also, the spring period is ideal for resting your dryer. Whenever you have the opportunity, dry your laundry on the balcony. Warm spring days will help you with that, and in addition to saving, you will also get a wonderful scent of freshness.
