I have written some tips that can help you save money and help the enviroment. All you have to do is some simple changes in your everyday life!

How to save some money and protect the enviroment by doing some simple tasks everyday!

In this article I will give you some tips about how to save money by doing some simple changes in our everyday life in our home!

Aircondition

For those using airconditions, I suggest that you never lower the airconditions temperature under 26C. In that way you have a pleasant temperature in your room and you don’t catch colds easily. In order to have the best results without consuming more energy, you have to close all the doors and windows in the room you want to use the airconditions and have it serviced by an expert every now and then! Additionally you can install a roof fan in order to use the aircondition less often.

By doing all the above you can save up to 200 Euros per year and harm the enviroment less!

Boiler

Use the boiler for as much as needed! Don’t forget it working all day long!
Set the thermostat in about 45C (you won’t need warmer water!).
If you have the option of the sun boiler, choose it!

By doing all the above you can save up to 350 Euros per year!

Washing Machine

Use the 30C button to wash your clothes and save like 40% of the energy consumed!
If your washing machine is half-full, use the economic setting of your washing machine

By doing all the above you can save about 150 Euros per year!

Oven

Make sure that your pots are perfectly fitted on the oven! When doing that you spend 30% less energy!
Use a pressure cooker. You can save up to 60% energy!
Turn off your oven about 10 minutes before your meal is ready! You can save up to 15% energy!

All the above can save you about 50 Euros per year!

Lights

Change all your light-bulbs with economic light bulbs. In that way you can save up to 5 times the energy that you consume with the regular light-bulbs.
Turn off the lights when you exit a room.
Try to find ways to make your house brighter (mirrors, bigger windows etc)

You can save up to 80 Euros with the above changes!

Standby

Turn off completely all your electrical devices! By leaving your devices on standby mode you consume great amounts of energy. You can save up to 30 Euros per year by doing the above!

Conclusion.

If we all try a little bit by doing all those things, we can make our world better and save some money. It’s not difficult. Start changing your life today! Don’t wait for the others to save our planet… YOU CAN DO IT TOO!!!
