Many people may think that washing machines use more water than they should, or that it's better to wash dishes in the sink than in a dishwasher. The same applies to refrigerators.
The current economic climate isn't the most conducive to spending money on frivolous things, so we've brought together some questions about this, and the answers might surprise you.
But let's say something that might surprise you: the day-to-day savings can offset the investment in the device. There are new technologies incorporated into appliances that help lower your water, electricity, food, and technical assistance bills, and even save you time.
With the help of ReparaçãoSegura, we've listed some devices and details that will make a difference to your bill. Go ahead:
The “magic” of the inverter
Opening and closing the refrigerator door can mean higher energy consumption at the end of the month, just as constantly turning the air conditioning on and off is a "villain" during the warmer months of the year. In both cases, running the motor that provides refrigeration, whether from inside a refrigerator or a room, is the most time-consuming aspect.
One solution to this problem is to look for equipment that has what is called an "inverter," which always keeps the motor at a minimum speed. When you turn it on, the temperature doesn't fluctuate to begin with.
In the case of air conditioning, the savings metrics recorded by different companies are significant. The use of "inverter" technology means up to 50% less energy consumption, while Whirlpool points to this feature as being responsible for savings of 60% compared to devices that use the traditional method.
This feature is also present in refrigerators and even washing machines. In these cases, the savings are not as significant as with air conditioning, but they do make a difference. We are talking about savings of 28% for refrigerators and 20% for washing machines.
Less water, less waste.
Speaking of washing machines, both clothes washers and dishwashers prevent water waste and, consequently, a higher bill. They save six times more than washing by hand, 27,000 liters of water per year. In the case of washing machines, this water saving can mean extra money in your pocket at the end of the year. According to company data, these are appliances that, once purchased, remain in the home for seven to ten years on average, but in four years the machine has already "paid for itself".
Pay attention to the energy label!
If you are undecided between two household appliances, the energy label is a reference that should be observed. This indication highlights products with better performance and energy efficiency . The efficiency differences in class A and above can be very significant, with class A+++ products consuming up to 30% less than a class A product, or even 60% less in the case of refrigeration appliances.
Knowing this, it's much easier to check if any device in your home is consuming more than usual, isn't it? At times like these, you can count on the ReparaçãoSegura.pt team .
