Lighting and household appliances

If you have an electric stove:
- Use pans with a bottom diameter equal to the diameter of the electric stove.
- Do not buy pots with a thick bottom, they heat up longer.
- Replace pots and burners with an uneven surface: with their loose contact, up to 50% more energy is spent.

- Long curtains, radiators, unsuccessfully placed furniture, racks for drying linen in front of batteries can absorb up to 20% heat.Do not block the path of heat.
Water
- It is important to eliminate the malfunctions of plumbing equipment in time.After all, the current crane per day can “drip” from 30 to 200 liters of water!
- A single-leaf mixer, like a thermo-steady mixer, contributes to the economy use of energy.They save a significant amount of hot water, which otherwise would flow without any benefit.
