These appliances are known for their high energy consumption, so it's good to use them less often.
Washers and dryers
Washing machines and dryers consume a lot of energy, especially when used on a weekly basis. A good solution may be to use cold water, which reduces the workload on the water heater. Not overloading the machine is also a good strategy.
Lighting
Using white and LED light bulbs reduce energy consumption. That's because home lighting accounts for 5% of home energy use. Turning off the lights when you leave the room also helps save money.
Electronic devices such as television and video games
Television, video games and converters are energy vampires. For example, cable TV converter boxes consume about 15 watts. In video games, however, downloading games and authorizing automatic updates should be avoided, to reduce energy consumption.
Refrigerator
The fridge is a household item that stays on all week, 24 hours a day. As it is not possible to turn off, increasing the temperature is a good strategy to save energy or choose a model with good energy efficiency.
Computer or notebook
Computers or notebooks turned on and idle frequently are real drains of electricity. A tip for those who don't want to turn off the device throughout the day can be to put the computer in sleep mode or in hibernation.
Dishwasher
The dishwasher is responsible for 2% of your total energy expenditure. Choosing energy efficient equipment and choosing air drying over heat drying will help you save money.
Water heaters and air conditioning
Use of electric showers or other water heaters is about 20% of the price of your home's total electricity consumption for the month. Using a milder temperature reduces consumption and the water won't be as cold. Air is about 50% of the electricity bill.
Other electronic equipment
Electronic devices plugged into an outlet when not in use consume electricity and represent up to 13% of your electricity bill. Therefore, taking sandwich makers, microwaves and others out of the socket helps save money.
