This is how you really save energy
-Get the most out of your fan.
Clean it constantly, disassemble its blades and remove the dirt that accumulates, this will make it work better and not strain, which makes it consume less.
If you have knowledge, take it apart and grease it, this will help the fan to work much better and not consume more energy. If you don’t have knowledge, look for a qualified person.
–That the bill does not scare you with the phantom consumption.
Phantom consumption is what electrical appliances produce when they are plugged in, even if we are not using them.
Microwaves, televisions, fans and a large number of household appliances generate phantom consumption, so it is best to disconnect them if you are not using them.
So you really save.
-Are you one of those who leave the cell phone charging all night or connected after it is already 100% thinking that it does not consume energy?
Let me tell you that it is not like that, a 100% charged cell phone consumes energy while it is connected.
On average it consumes 1.5 to 2 watts. It doesn’t seem like much, but if you multiply it by all the days you leave it connected, it will represent extra consumption on your bill.
How much energy does a TV use when it’s turned off?
A 55-inch television turned on uses an average of 150 watt hours.
But when you turn it off and leave it plugged in, it’s going to draw an average of 5 watts.
