Some simple but effective measures to save electricity in the home:

2. For light bulbs:Replace incandescent light bulbs with high efficiency lighting devices such as compact light bulbs or energy-saving LED lights; Turn off the lights when leaving the room.

Do not place the refrigerator near heat sources (gas stoves, ovens, etc.) and places with direct sunlight; Do not put hot food in the refrigerator.
7. Rice cooker:Do not cook rice too early, only cook about 30 - 45 minutes before eating to limit reheating time; Regularly clean the bottom of the pot and clean the heating plate to ensure good heat contact.
8. Iron:Use the iron during off-peak hours (early morning or late evening), iron a lot of clothes at once to save electricity, do not iron clothes while they are still wet, and regularly wipe the metal surface of the iron.
9. Washing machine:Wash the amount of clothes suitable for the machine's capacity, place the washing machine in a well-ventilated place, and clean the washing drum regularly.
10. Water heater:Family members should arrange their hot water bathing time close together to save electricity. Do not set the water temperature too hot; Use a low-flow shower; Use a direct water heater instead of an indirect water heater; if possible, use a solar water heater.
