The largest heat supplier in Kyiv, the Kyivteploenergo company, gave advice on how to rationally use household appliances and save energy.

The company noted that there are six ways to economically use electricity that will help citizens save not only energy, but also money:.

The refrigerator should be as far away from the stove and radiators as possible.. Due to the high temperature, the load on the compressor increases, which leads to the use of more electricity and to a decrease in the life of the device. The distance from the refrigerator to the wall should be at least 5 cm. An improperly positioned refrigerator consumes up to 30% more energy.

Load the washing machine to the permitted maximum. At partial load, almost the same amount of energy is consumed as at full load.. Pay attention to the washing temperature, because 90% of the energy goes into heating the water. Also, load the dishwasher to the maximum..

Boil only the required amount of water in the kettle. Also, regularly descale it - this will increase thermal conductivity and reduce energy consumption..

Start ironing with those items that require a lower temperature, then increase the temperature and continue ironing other items..

Set the boiler to the optimum temperature.

If it is too high, these are extra costs and additional load on the device.. Do not turn off the boiler from the network, because less energy is spent on maintaining the temperature than heating from scratch.

When cooking on an electric stove, use cookware with a lid.. Meals will cook faster and use less electricity. Turn off the burner a few minutes before cooking.

Recall that the Cabinet of Ministers told how Ukraine manages to keep electricity prices for household consumers.
