There are ways to lower your electricity bills. They’re easy, free, and you can start saving today!

Every household is equipped with various electrical appliances, such as refrigerators, microwaves, washing machines and televisions. Each of these devices has its own specific energy consumption, which affects the amount of electricity bills. Have you ever wondered which of them consume the most energy and how you can reduce your electricity consumption to save on bills? Here’s what you can do to pay less for electricity.

These devices consume the most energy

Every home has appliances that use significantly more electricity than others. Old home appliances that do not meet modern energy efficiency standards are the main culprits behind high electricity bills. Replacing an old D-class refrigerator with a modern A-class model can save you a lot of money.

As of March 1, 2021, new energy class designations have been introduced, from A to G. Previously, most devices were marked with classes A+++, A++, and A+. Now, devices that had class A+++ are marked as C. Classes A and B are reserved for future, most energy-efficient devices. So it’s worth paying attention to these designations when buying new devices.

The current price of electricity per 1 kWh is from PLN 1.11 to PLN 1.21, depending on the region of Poland and the selected electricity tariff. To reduce energy costs, it is worth investing in devices with a higher energy class that use less electricity. This is a simple change that can significantly affect the amount of your bills.

Sleep mode and power consumption

Did you know that devices left in sleep mode also use energy? You might think that a device that is turned off doesn’t use any electricity, but the reality is different. Sleep mode, while using less energy than normal operation, still costs money that can add up over the course of a year. By turning your devices off completely, you can save even more.

Practical tips for saving energy

• Replacing old appliances: replacing old appliances with newer models with a higher energy class.

• Turn off devices: Avoid leaving devices in sleep mode, unplug them from the outlet when not in use.

• Efficient use: take advantage of the energy-saving modes available on many modern devices.

Managing your home energy consumption isn’t difficult if you know which devices use the most electricity and what steps to take to reduce their consumption. By paying attention to the energy classes of your devices and avoiding sleep mode, you can effectively reduce your electricity bills. Isn’t it worth starting to save today?
