How to save energy at home?
- Make sure to turn off the tap and fix it if it's broken: sometimes we don't notice when one of our taps is losing water. We often think that these little drops don't make any difference, but they do. Drop by drop we can come to have huge water losses (about 6.000 liters per year). This is why it's essential to be aware of those taps that haven't been turned off well.
- Turn off the tap when you don't need it: avoid having the tap turned on if you don't have the need to use water.
- We recommend having a shower: choose to have a shower instead of a bathtub, since this last one requires a lot of water. It's true that a lot of people like to be able to have a relaxing bath, but we need to have in mind that, if we want to reduce our water fee we need to avoid the bathtub.
- Full dishwasher and washing machine: try to fill completely the washing machine and the dishwasher, that way you'll wash more clothes and dishes with the same amount of water. We also need to try not to fill it too much, because if not the dishes and clothes wouldn't be entirely clean.
- Don't defrost food under the water: Defrosting food under the water produces a faster defrosting. But it also is an unnecessary waste of water, since you can just leave outside the freezer for a while and the temperature will have the same function as the water.
These are some of the tips that we recommend to save water in your place. Together with a good light and gas managing, you'll be able to achieve a reduction of the monthly supplies fee. Tell us in our social media if they have been useful!
