Household Guide ＼ Energy Saving

The whole world is paying attention to the issue of global warming now because human activities have created too much carbon dioxide. In order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, we need to reduce the use of fossil fuels. We hope everyone can cherish every degree of electricity. In the home environment, as long as you make a decision, everyone can become a power-saving person and do a good job to protect the earth.
When we visited the North District Service Office, electrical technology service specialist, Ta-Yeh Chen, introduced how to save power as follows:
1.To buy electrical goods with energy-saving stamps
The energy-saving stamp is made up of power, loving hands, and endless flames. This pattern represents energy efficiency is higher than the standard of general electrical appliances. It has not only quality assurance, but also less power consumption.

2.How to use general electric appliance well
◎The use of electric thermos:
(1)To control the quantity and temperature of water.
(2)To clean the scale.
(3)To use the power saving timing function, and keep it warm and heaton automatically.
◎The use of hair dryer:
(1)Avoid inserting the same extension cord as other household appliances.
(2)Do not use for a long time to avoid the excessive temperature.
(3)Do not use in the bathroom to avoid the wet electric shock.
(4)Dry your hair before blowing it

3.How to use the air conditioner well
(1)Apply highly efficient air-conditioner with high Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) to save power.
(2)Set adequate room temperature ( 26~28℃). Try not to turn off the air-con when it’s less than 28 degrees Celsius.
(3)It can be used with an electric fan while air-con is on. The cold air can accelerate the circulation distribution to be much cooler.
(4) Clean up air-con's heat exchanger or condenser regularly to work effectively.
(5)In the air-conditioned room, the use of heat-conducting appliances should be avoided to reduce the efficiency of air-con operation and waste energy.
(6)Use sleep timer switch when sleeping.

4.How to use water dispensers and water heaters well
For appliances that are not used for more than one day, please turn off the power. It is also possible to save power and energy by setting the use of hot water time and adding a time setting switch.

5.How to use insulation products well
Use the principle of insulation to keep food hot without wasting fuel to save a lot of energy consumption. For example, the boiling water can be placed in a thermos bottle to maintain the temperature, and the power consumed by the electric water heater can be saved.
6.How to use the refrigerator well
(1)Avoid too close to the wall to increase the surrounding temperature and the power consumption. Therefore, the back and sides of the refrigerator should be kept at a distance of more than 10 cm from the wall to achieve better heat dissipation and operation.
(2)Do not open the refrigerator door frequently to avoid wasting power.
(3)The storage in the refrigerator should be kept 80% of all. Please wait until the cooked food is cooled and put it in the refrigerator to save power.
7.How to use washing machines and dryers well
(1)Wait until the washing machine capacity is 70 or 80% to wash together. It can improve operating efficiency and reduce clothing damage.
(2)3-minute dehydrating is okay.
(3)Soaking for 20 minutes before washing is better.

8.How to use sockets and chargers well
Except for the refrigerator, the plug should be unplugged when other appliances are not in use. When the battery is fully charged, as long as not put out the plug, it consumes power of charging.

9.Though small, accomplishes big.
(1)Use natural light to save electricity for lighting.
(2)Hang the curtains outside to reduce direct sunlight or use full blackout curtains to reduce indoor temperature.

Hang the curtains outside to reduce direct sunlight

(3)The white-painted roof can reduce the reflection of radiant heat and reduce the temperature of the building.
(4)Turn to use LED lights, the bulb temperature is lower than the halogen lamp to reduce the indoor heat source and to save power.
(5)When cleaning, you can use the dusting paper mop, which can be cleaned more cleanly, and has no noise and save more power than the vacuum cleaner.
