Electrical devices consume about 10% of energy even when they are not in use but still plugged in. Therefore, always unplug any device you are not using after finishing your work.
Have your air conditioner/boiler cleaned and maintained regularly.
Your air conditioner uses more energy to reach the room temperature each time you change its setting. Therefore, set a constant room temperature and keep your air conditioner at the same setting.
When you will be away from home for a long time, don’t forget to turn off your water heaters like instantaneous water heaters or boilers.
Prefer energy-efficient bulbs over incandescent bulbs in your home/workplace.
Make it a habit to turn off the lights every time you leave a room.
Prefer motion-sensor lighting in common areas like stairs and corridors that are used temporarily.
Keep your curtains open during the day to make the most of daylight and avoid unnecessary lighting use.
Devices that produce rapid heat, like kettles, toasters, hair dryers, and irons, consume high amounts of electricity. Minimize the usage time of these products.
Vacuum cleaners consume more energy when their dust containers are full. Frequently empty or replace the dust container or bag of your vacuum cleaner.
If you are buying a new appliance, always check the energy label on it. Ensure the product has a high level of energy efficiency. Appliances with high energy efficiency ratings consume less energy.
Position your refrigerator away from heat-emitting devices like radiators and stoves.
Keep your refrigerator’s cooling compartment at 4 °C and the freezer compartment at -20, -18 °C.
Each time you open the oven door, the temperature inside decreases by about 10 °C. Avoid opening the oven door unless necessary and use the oven light to check if your food is cooked.
Dishwashers use the most energy while heating water. Therefore, choose economical and low-temperature programs for your washing cycles.
Run your washing machine or dishwasher with a full load to avoid overloading. For situations where you need to operate the machine at half capacity, use the machine’s economical and low-temperature programs.
