Large appliances such as the oven or ceramic hob radiate a lot of heat, keeping it up until a certain time after switching them off. This type of residual heat can be used to finish what you are cooking. For example, if you are cooking a roast, a good strategy would be to turn off the oven 10 minutes early and let the roast finish with the residual heat from the oven.

Disconnect unused appliances

Most electronic devices have a mode, called 'standby', in which, although it may seem that they do not, they continue to consume energy because they are plugged in. Some of these devices are the electric brush, heaters, chargers or computers. A useful way to make these devices disconnect is to use the strips. Through them, several devices can be disconnected with a simple gesture. Another equally valid option are the so-called 'smart plugs', which have the ability to connect or disconnect completely when the devices are charged. Some of the models you will find on the market are programmable.

Use appliances the right way

 When buying electrical appliances, in addition to all the characteristics of the electronic appliance, one must also pay attention to its energy rating. In addition, good maintenance of the product will avoid possible excessive consumption of it.

For example, you should clean the refrigerator coil at least once a year, or keep the air conditioning filters regularly clean. Fan blades or heaters are also places where a lot of dust usually accumulates and must be kept in good condition. In addition to extending the useful life of the appliances, you will be able to optimise your electricity bill.
