Savings on utility services is a real possibility, and for this it is important to follow certain rules and use energy-efficient methods. In winter, especially a lot of electricity is spent on heating, but with the optimization of consumption, bills can be significantly reduced. Energy efficiency expert Volodymyr Kuzemko shares tips on how to save on utility costs.
The first and important step is to introduce a culture of economy in the family. Try to do this not only for your own savings, but also as an example for others. According to Kuzemko, the implementation of such simple organizational methods can bring real economic benefits for the family and the country as a whole.
Energy-saving habits that can be implemented at home include:
- Turn off the lights when you leave the room.
- Always turn off the TV before going to bed.
- Use the "eco" mode on the equipment.
- Switch to LED bulbs instead of conventional ones.
- Unplug electrical appliances when not in use.
As for LED lamps, Kuzemko points out that they cost more, but pay for themselves in less than 4 months. It is also important to consider that incandescent lamps, in addition to lighting, produce additional heat, which leads to additional electricity consumption.
An effective way to save money is a gradual transition to modern technology that meets energy efficiency requirements. Also, consider the individual characteristics of your household. For example, homeowners can consider heating systems using solid fuels such as coal, briquettes, or wood.
