Appliances

Posted by Jeha 8:28 AM

After heating appliances are the most energy in the house. However, there are also many things you can watch. We run on all devices:

TV
The first thing I notice when a picture shows our TV is size. With 127cm diagonal, that thing looks very impressive. Then immediately comes the question: "How much electricity that thing sucks?”. Well, no more than an average LCD set!  In addition, those who do not believe me I invite you to come to measure. The device consumes up to 190Watt.
In addition, how come this. Since this unit is a DLP device. DLP stands for Digital Light Processing (more info about it on www.dlp.com) and works as follows. A lamp shines light on a DMD-processor (chip with tiny tiny mirrors) which reflects light on the screen. It is simply the consumption of the lamp that counts. An LCD TV consumes more and plasma is a multiple of. Therefore, whoever buys large plasma, which holds more money aside to pay the energy bill! Plasma is very irresponsible in this regard.  For smaller aircraft your best for LCD. We often lie snug in bed to watch TV on the small LCD TV. You are the sack, the house is less heat, and our LCD TV consumes only 47Watt.

DVD or VIDEO.

The video has many lives and shapes (Betamax, Video2000, VHS, and SVHS etc) had its day and are gradually supplanted by the DVD player with built-in hard drive. Not only do you not lugging all those tapes (those bulky), the entire mechanism for tapes to play a lot of energy. From the energy point of view, you can say that a DVD drive for a long-term savings will provide.

DIGIBOX and DIGI RECORDER.

With the advent of digital television is the digibox and / or digital recorder to imagine. A dig box is an electronic tuner that translates the digital signals so they are useful your TV set. In itself, no big sloop a dig box. Our Indi box consumes 6W. However, the digital recorders are devices that run day and night (you can hear the hard drive still work) and absorb information so you can revisit missed programs or something viewed with delay (egg half hour later start). These devices are power hungry, because they not only consume power, but this 24 / 7 do (24 hours a day, 7 days a week). For that reason, we have a DVD player with hard drive (only in standby. It must be in standby, because you can program anything else), but the TV and dig box from the mains will be final after use. There is a plug with a switch between the TV, dig box and the mains installed.  Another disadvantage of the digital recorder is that you are saved films or documentaries cannot write to DVD. The combination of classic dig box with a HDD DVD recorder can do it!

FRIDGE, FREEZER AND WINE COOLER.

The refrigerator and freezer must take into consideration that the temperatures are observed for food decay. Play not with your health!  It is worthwhile to purchase a refrigerator to opt for an A-rated appliance. The consumption of these is significantly lower than other types. Also, make sure that the appropriate volume of the refrigerator. A large family has a large refrigerator is required, but a single can often with a smaller set. Remember that larger refrigerators more energy to absorb the increased volume to cool. You can refrigerate a helping hand by:
Frozen meat and vegetables to thaw in the refrigerator. The food will be cold to the fridge and heats up as themselves. It requires some organization.
Make your choice, open the door, take your choice and close the door. A half hour before an open refrigerator provides cooling in the summer, but a higher energy bill.
Place always act so that it is faster to find. Give some cases if need a permanent place
clean the refrigerator regularly and prevent ice formation on the back of the refrigerator or it will use up considerably.  Avoid the sun falls directly on the fridge. For built-in refrigerators, this problem is less discussed.

As regards the freezer, we can say the same. Make sure no thick ice in the freezer is. The latest models have a fan that icing occurs. Here too orderly so you quickly can make your choice. A stand model with slide in this respect to use than a tank model. Set the freezer preferably in an unheated room. Make sure the sun is directly on the device falls.

Although manufacturers say it is not too bad, wine coolers are not without energy bill. Our wine cooler turned day and night, but there we stopped. The white wine (at 12 ° C) was immediately drink, but the red wine was warm hours before he was good. Now the cooler without power and the average 20 ° C in the cooler with little temperature fluctuations. The red wine at room temperature and the white wine we stop half hour in the freezer before we get started. The insulated walls of the wine cooler thus produce sufficient temperature stability.

Cooking and baking.
When cooking, there are three groups found, namely:

Vitro Ceramic (electric)
Induction (electric)
Gas

Cooking is often done by women and the choice of a stove is not always based on pure science.

When we had was the newly built kitchen with ceramic cooking areas (beautiful glass plate smoothing). Soon there were spots on the glass (burnt sugars are the worst to delete) and the cleaning was not so obvious, even though it was a flat glass plate. Moreover, hit the electricity meter almost hollow when my wife cooked, and you can guess, of course, always 21h, so the expensive daily rate. We then decided to cook the power to give up and switch to natural gas.

The great advantage of cooking gas, much of the burnt gas is converted into heat. The heat is also immediately available and you are not with the (often-annoying) heat. Our food is hotter than before. Cleaning the stainless steel stove appears to be simpler than the previous. Question of the right products.
It is important that your stove have a thermocouple. If the flame goes through over boiling soup or a strong gust of wind comes through a door, then the stove after a few seconds the gas is automatically shut. Nobody wants to work with a bomb, right?
You feel that it is deprived of oxygen from the room. Make sure adequate ventilation while cooking!
There are now basin gas cookers who get the A + label. By another boring of holes in the pelvic stove consumes less and have a greater yield.

Cooking on gas for me (and my wife) was an adaptation but a pleasant experience. Cooking day cost no more than after 21U (as it does with electricity). It is also all much faster. Pancake succeeds much better now, for example by the greater heat of the fire. Electrical sometimes could not follow.

Induction Hobs finally combine the benefits but also the disadvantages of gas and electricity. Induction hobs are quicker than vitro ceramic cooker, but they do custom pots and pans and remains electric cooking. Moreover, I read in several places disturbing reports about the strong magnetic fields generated by the cook and the health negatively. Large magnetic fields (hotplates, oven, microwave, dishwasher, hood, etc.) are present in the kitchen more than anywhere else is. In addition, we are close encounter with our bodies.

More favorable to cook it is always advisable to cover each pot and pan. This will also limit heat loss. Do not take too much water to cook vegetables for example. Fill the bowl and fill with water until almost all vegetables covered. By boiling the water and will put all the stuff done. Who do cook with residual heat to natural gas can use cast iron pots and pans. We use this for some time and it is good cooking. You can also use a pressure cooker (pressure cooker) to vegetables (for cooking soup) to have done earlier. This form of cooking, along with natural gas, is the most energy-efficient.

An oven, there are already many threads before, but everyone agrees that a hot air oven gives the best result. In addition, as an oven infrequently used (with us about once a week or even less) is the profit to switch to a gas oven is not profitable. Moreover, energy efficiency but at some point to justify. If the results achieved in jeopardy, you are wrong.  Many furnaces have an eco mode by now, for example, more economical grilling. You can also program ovens, so the food (egg cake) into the furnace to be baked from 21h. This is a financial saving rather than energy savings.

Microwave.

To quickly thaw frozen food is a Microwave a blessing. It also allows you to eat to warm up if someone from the family home later example of the work. Of course, you can also simply slide back hours of the meal and socializing at the table. A microwave should not use more often. So the tip for food in the refrigerator to defrost not always sexy, but profitable.  Also, keep sufficient distance from a working unit. My radiometer gave leakage up to about 30cm of the door. The values were not super high, but still. Therefore, you are not constantly on the best window to see what happens.  A microwave may also help to save. Therefore, we bake enough pancakes and the surplus goes into the freezer. Afterwards we will warm up for the children with the microwave. You should not always be great preparation work to do.

DISHWASHER.

VaatwasEen dishwasher without energieslokop great, but the cheaper types that often. Look (as with any extension) well after that it has a label a telephone rings. These devices are somewhat more expensive to buy, but they consume significantly less. Moreover, the more expensive types of functions, such as delayed and they jump quieter.  Our dishwasher has an extra feature, so the heat of the dirty water through a heat exchanger is recovered to pre-heat fresh cold water. This is called an AAA device.

There are also devices with a hot-fill. This is an entrance through which hot water directly into the machine. These devices are a lot more expensive than traditional models, but the hot water through the boiler is created (egg natural gas) instead of the internal electrical heater. Type Hot-Fill can be a saving of 10 to 30%. The same system also exists in washing machines.

WASHING MACHINE.

DroogkastEen washer and washing machine (and a dryer) are heavy users, which mean they can consume up to a few kWh. It is best to save these aircraft at night running (after 21h and 6 am) and now during peak times (the weekend rate is also nightly if you have a dual counter). With us, both run appliances while the children sleep in the next room! Is there anyone awake? This is because the new devices are silent. You hear our washing machine only when you run the wasberging state and hear the water. You can save a few tips to handle. Therefore, you should first collect all the dirty clothes by type and wait until you have enough for a full load. Try experimenting by the temperature 10 ° C lower it and see if the spots are all off. Every modern machine has an Eco mode. This will easily wash with 20 minutes cut, which is also a savings. Please note, this is less soaked clothes and some stubborn stains do not have the time to solve. This experiment is the message. Make sure you let the clothes tumble in the highest possible speed, because then the clothes dryer for drying or washing lines or eclectic. Attention, some materials you had better not tumble (like curtains).


DRYERS.

A dryer (just like the washing machine) a fantastic invention for energy to devour! You cannot do without, but the ability for such a thing is dizzying. This uses our average 3kWh dryer! Of course, there are tips to save.

Make sure that the washing is spun dry as possible.
Choose drying at low temperature. Because I have some T-shirts, a few sizes shrink from using the dryer. Moreover, decreasing the consumption of our dryer from three to 1.9 kWh. This is a substantial profit and the laundry comes out as dry. The cycle takes about 15 minutes longer, but that is a total of 110minuten a breeze.
Hang the clothes on a washing lines or eclectic and remove them when they are almost dry. Stop them for the last 15 minutes in the dryer. The clothes are as soft, but you have almost no energy. According to my calculation is a full cycle of 90 minutes or half hour. On 3kWh is therefore a total consumption of 4.5 kW of energy. First on the line and then 15 minutes at a low temperature is only 0.25 kW consumption. This is 18 times more efficient. If this is not a tip ...
If you make a choice, choose a dryer with exhaust air outside. Of course, this is possible in your home. In apartments is often opted for a condensing type, where the moisture from the air is collected in a reservoir or directly through an outlet. This condensation types generally consume more energy.
A modern machine is not only quieter, but will also calculate how long it takes to dry, depending on the load and humidity. It makes no sense to run a full cycle when the laundry is almost dry and the drum but for one quarter filled.
There are dryers that heat with natural gas! However, these types are just like the hot-fill more expensive. Furthermore, you lay a gas pipeline to the conscious unit.

Iron

Since the introduction of the silent hours (weekend night rate) expires at the weekend my wife (or sometimes at night). It was apparently made no major adjustments, but it saves it in the wallet. Several devices use so-called "dry steam". This means that the humidity of the steam is lower, and the unit requires less energy to heat water. In general, these devices are more expensive than the simple steam irons. A steam iron is certainly a good choice as it facilitates ironing. Faster and easier ironing is also equivalent to less energy.

COFFEE

To promote consumption of coffee within the standard account, you can rescale regularly on this machine. Instead of using harsh (and often producing toxic) products, you can opt for vinegar or tartaric acid. The products are not harmful to humans, animals, and decaling fine.

Measures precisely
meetoestelHet is always worth a meter to buy or rent. This unit plugs into the socket. The appliance is a reading to see. On the front, the device is equipped with its own outlet. Here you put in your consumer. While working the consumer can then read how the consumption will be. If you type what the electricity rate, the unit (taking into account the time of consumption and power) figure out what you (in €) have consumed.





TIPS:

  1. Buy a TV device that fits in your living room. The larger the diameter of a unit, the more energy it will consume. If you want to enjoy the big, screen and not go to the movies? Buy a large DLP TV. These devices consume no more energy than a typical LCD device. Want to environmentally friendly TV? Certainly not, buy plasma unit, since these devices are the most energy, with a power to a multiple of the consumption of an LCD TV.
  2. Turn off the TV after watching completely. Leave the phone in standby mode. On an annual basis, this means tens of dollars saved. Take away your dig box also the flow if you no longer need. Ask also, how much energy after a digicorder will consume before you buy it. Some devices have a hard disk that continuously record and knew.
  3. Note to deny power to the VCR or HDD recorder. These devices can disrupt this reach. An HDD recorder is preferable, since driving a tire requires more energy. In addition, working with a pleasant drive (faster and easier) and you should have no more tapes to purchase your favorite program not to miss. The tapes must not be abandoned, as the pressure on the environment and the wallet relieved (in the long term that is).
  4. Measuring knows. Consumers rent or buy a meter and determine which appliances consume the most energy. Replace old energy-guzzling appliances by new energy efficient appliances. All devices that are made for the year 2000 can be considered as old and therefore energy consuming. Especially devices such as a refrigerator and freezer are the largest energy losers.
  5. Place frozen meat and other food in the fridge first to slowly thaw. The food in the fridge give off their cold and thus cooling the refrigerator temporarily take off, so it needs less energy to keep cool. Furthermore, you so that you avoid the food must defrost the microwave (MW). Foresight is the key.
  6. Cooking on electricity is a very expensive solution. Old plates are the very worst, followed by vitreous ceramic. Slightly better induction cookers, but the best is cooking on gas. In our case, this means a saving of 1700kWh of electricity annually. Contrast, the consumption of natural gas has increased by barely cooking on gas, on the contrary.
  7. For cooking only the amount of water, you really need. A lower amount of water to cook vegetables for example, you save energy. Remember to always cooking and baking with the lid on the bowl or pan. Keep the flame beyond the bottom of the pot; otherwise, you may damage the handle of the pan. Moreover, costly energy is lost as the flame passes the bottom of the bowl or pot. The same goes for vitro ceramic cooking. Make sure the red light of the ceramic slab is visible. Then you have the correct placement.
  8. A temperature of -18 ° C is cold enough for a freezer or freezer. Whoever buys a new freezer, can opt for a ventilated version. This causes the inside of the freezer less striking with ice. Make sure your freezer is cleaned often enough and free of all ice. A layer of more than two will already provide a substantial power increase.
  9. Place the contents of slides from the freezer to the refrigerator so the food does not heat up as fast. This also helps the refrigerator to use less energy. Repeat this process for each slide. You can also best to clean your freezer and thaw in the winter months, since all food than a moment can be laid outside (when it freezes). Use a cloth with hot water to defrost the freezer efficiently. Caution with hairdryers electrocution!
  10. After replacing the food, you had better opt for super-frost the freezer quickly, back at the right temperature. Some phones will automatically start this cycle.
  11. Be careful with the cleaning behind a freezer or refrigerator. If you have moved a freezer (egg during major cleaning), do not forget to read the freezer 15 minutes to rest before returning to turn. The liquid in the freezer because first must flow back.
  12. Quickly choose from the refrigerator. Every second that the door is open, energy is lost! Place the most used objects in front of the refrigerator or in the door.
  13. If you work with a freezer with slide, you had better move to a klevertje, so you will quickly know which slide you find the right food.
  14. Never place a refrigerator or freezer in the burning sun, but in a dark enclosed space. Make sure there is adequate ventilation at the back, so at least 5 cm free.
  15. Do not be too efficient, so the temperatures are too high and voedselbedref occurs. Health always prevails!
  16. Take an insulated bag with us (especially for frozen food) or a cooler for your frozen food in the store immediately stop. The food heats up less and less, must thereafter be cooled by your freezer.
  17. Take off all your other purchases and take the freezer until the last stretch. Therefore, are these foods less time waiting in the cart?
  18. Turn off the gas or electric stove approximately 5 minutes before the end though, so that you are using the waste heat. In this residual gas is obviously less relevant to present as electric cooking. Want to get even more profits for natural gas, consider cooking in cast iron bowls. Cast iron is an excellent conductor of heat and retains heat better established.
  19. Make sure, when buying a gas appliance that is equipped with a thermocouple. A thermocouple is an additional safeguard against the escape of gas. When boiling water, etc. on the water can extinguish the flame. In addition, a door suddenly opened and a strong gust of wind can extinguish the flame. In that case, the thermocouple to the gas supply for that bill. Throttle without heat = gas is closed.
  20. Always keep sufficient distance from an operating microwave (MW). Some models leak microwave radiation to about 20cm of the unit. Therefore should never go to the square to see how far the ingredient is.
  21. Take sufficiently large portions of a meal, for example too much spaghetti sauce. Then you can freeze the excess and then warm up in the microwave. Thus, following a meal less labor intensive and less energy you expend during cooking.
  22. If sauces too long to warm up in the microwave, it may be that they are sufficiently moist. Add half glass of water, mix everything and place it in the microwave. The warming will be faster, since only water is heated. Note that you no metal objects like spoons, etc. in the oven leave behind.
  23. Bake your own bread instead of driving to the bakery. You are 10 times less impact on the environment and you save 70% on cost. Visit our "Tips" to learn about bread baking.
  24. Choose a dishwasher AAA. These devices are much more economical than ordinary phones; heat first because they escape the dirty hot water (via a heat exchanger) and thus the clean cold water warm. This saves a lot of energy.
  25. Wash your clothes at the lowest possible temperature. Depending on the wax, you can experiment and see what is possible. Most washing machines have an eco-setting, while the cycle is shorter and less energy.
  26. Let the most clothes (except sensitive) at the highest possible speed spin-drying (at the least more than 1000 rpm). This will speed drying laundry on the line or in the dryer.
  27. As the sunny days, it is best to use the washing lines or eclectic. Only frost or inclement weather (fog and rain) has little meaning.
  28. If the dryer must go for drying at low temperatures. The drying cycle takes only about 30 minutes longer, but the device consumes only half of a regular warm cycle. Moreover, you run less risk of clothes shrink.
  29. If you choose a new washing machine, you can opt for a hot-fill. On these devices can directly connect hot water, so that this generates energy with natural gas through the burner and not by electricity. These devices are therefore more profitable than ordinary, but also more expensive. You can also get drying you can connect directly to natural gas.
  30. Use all large consumers especially after 21:00 as you do at nighttime work, which is cheaper anyway. Most modern devices make little noise and can therefore perfect night use. We sleep just 3 meters from our washing machine and are never awake. Choose when purchasing a washing machine or dryer for a model with timer. Among older or simpler devices can work with a timer.
  31. You can also vaatwasmodellen obtained with an internal programming at night to jump. Try both the washing machine and dishwasher as well as possible to fill, even though these devices have a sensor to detect half-filled equipment.  Drying cabinets with an air vent to the outside consume less than the versions that need to condense.
  32. Steam Iron earns the recommendation rather than traditional irons, as the steam causes more wrinkles in the clothes you are met and therefore less time to iron. Devices with "dry steam" consume less energy, since less water is used to good steam. These devices are more expensive to purchase.
  33. Wipe down your regular coffee. You can do this by using eco-acetic acid or tartaric acid. The latter can be obtained in any drugstore.
  34. Take in the kitchen using a hand mixer. These valves provide the desired temperature quicker and you will avoid wasting water and energy. Handy in the kitchen is a shower valve with switch and cord. Therefore, you can fill the coffee without spilling.
  35. Put the hood (hood) from after cooking. Not only this unit consumes a lot of power, you run too precious warm air to the outside.
  36. Place a timer between the outlet and the petty thief. This unit has enough charge to turn a night. During the day, but only the costly power converted into heat in the transformer.
  37. Place a stove and / or oven ever next to a freezer or refrigerator. The radiant heat is the operation of the refrigerator or freezer negatively.
  38. Check when buying a refrigerator or it really should be a model with a freezer. If your freezer for a few uses, it seems reasonable to type without a freezer preferred. A freezer consumes power and takes a fair amount of space from the refrigerator space.
