You may have noticed that the price of your energy bills is getting higher and higher. And it does not look like it will improve.

That’s why we’re going to explore some tips that can help you both in your business and at home to save energy. From small habits to the incorporation of new technologies. Your budget and the planet will thank you for it.

How can we save electrical energy?

1. Use LED lights. These lights can save up to 80% compared to traditional lighting.
2. Turn off lights. It sounds obvious, but you’d be surprised at the misuse of lights you don’t use.
3. Paint with light colors. Choose light, light-reflecting tones for your spaces, especially where you spend most of the day.
4. Take advantage of natural lighting. Use translucent roller blinds that allow light to pass through.
5. Install timers and motion sensors. Very useful in bathrooms and crowded areas to regulate light.
6. Turn off electronic devices on standby. These appliances are consuming energy without performing a specific function. Eliminate them.
7. Buy efficient and energy-saving appliances. Look for the energy efficiency label on appliances. Category A represents the highest savings.
8. Keep your appliances and devices maintained. Maintenance will be key to consumption. And also, in security.
9. Wash your clothes in cold water. Advances in washing machines and detergents make it possible to wash in cold water without affecting the wash result.
10. Use the fan. Combine it with air conditioning to reduce the thermal sensation.
11. Regulate the temperature of the air conditioning. In summer do not lower the temperature below 26 degrees. In winter, 20 degrees will be sufficient.
12. Install awnings. You will avoid direct solar radiation and save on air conditioning.
13. Contract the necessary electricity power. Check that your power is in line with your needs and that you are not overpaying.
