With the increase in basic expenses, such as electricity, people are already changing some habits and looking for alternatives to reduce costs. Given this scenario, it is important that citizens first learn to plan and always use them consciously. Some measures can be taken so that next month's electricity bill is not a cause for concern. Save by changing 6 habits:
- Use your air conditioner wisely
Switch it off when leaving the room; keep doors and windows closed during use and close curtains and blinds to prevent heat entry.
- Reduce time in the shower
When it is not cold, leave the key in the “summer” position. The electric shower is one of the appliances that consume the most energy.
- Change incandescent light bulbs
Incandescent bulbs use the most energy. To save money, the ideal option is fluorescent and LED lamps, which are more economical and leave the room lit with the same intensity.
- Unplug appliances from the socket
Every device plugged into the socket is consuming energy, whether switched off or on standby. The only way to save money is to unplug it.
- Organize the fridge
Arrange food so that it can be found quickly, to avoid having to leave the door open for a long time.
- Prefer household appliances with the Procel Seal
When purchasing, choose appliances with the Procel Seal, which indicates to consumers which models consume less energy.
