There is a way to optimize the costs of paying for the ever-increasing price of utilities. To do this, you need to use five inexpensive devices in everyday life.
Motion Sensor
This device is used in apartments and stairwells of apartment buildings. The lighting turns on when a person appears and goes out when you leave the room.
In this case, there is no need to fear that someone will forget to click on the switch.
Such a device costs about 300 rubles. You can connect it to a common electrical circuit yourself. Electricity consumption will depend on the intensity of its consumption, and the average monthly savings will be 20-35%.
Attachment on the crane
An aerator is a mixer attachment that disperses a stream of water by adding air to it in about a 50:50 ratio. This achieves a 50% reduction in water consumption.
The savings are further enhanced by the fact that the jet pressure becomes stronger, which means you can wash your hands and dishes faster.
Such a plastic nozzle costs no more than 50 rubles, and from metal - 100-120 rubles. Both options are very reliable and durable. In any case, these small costs pay off already in the first days of use.
Programmable socket
A smart socket with a timer independently controls the power supply of electrical appliances. You must first configure the device by setting the operating intervals at which the power supply should stop.
The most common ways to waste energy resources: lighting an apartment, courtyard, fan operation, hibernation of computers and household appliances. By spending 350-400 rubles for one outlet, you can reduce the payment for used electricity by 40% per month.
LED lamp
Energy-saving lamps, unlike conventional incandescent lamps, are very beneficial on the farm. They also provide bright, warm or cool light that is pleasing to the eyes.
The average cost of one LED lamp is 100 rubles, and the usual one is about four times less.
But resource costs differ by a factor of 10. It's easy to calculate how much money you can save on a monthly basis by replacing all the bulbs in your home with LED bulbs.
Regulator on the heating radiator
Thermal valve for heating radiator is used to control the temperature level in the room. But this device will work effectively if the tenants agree and install a common heat meter.
During a period of sharp warming or in the absence of apartment owners for a long time, you can turn off the batteries, thereby reducing the collective level of consumption of heat resources.
Then, in one heating season, you can save up to 30% of funds.
A high-quality device with a built-in thermal sensor, which is used not only to turn off the battery, but also to lower its temperature, will cost you 500 rubles. The device can be installed on any type of radiator, except for cast iron.
