Prioritize energy labeling and electricity saving certification
Consumers should check the energy label on devices such as air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, and TVs before buying.
Equipment with an Energy Star certification or national energy-saving brand often helps reduce energy consumption by 10 - 30% per year.
In addition, users can use the manufacturer's energy management application to track real-time electricity consumption.
Choose devices with smart mode and self-stop power outage
Many modern home appliance products have integrated sensors, helping to automatically turn off when not in use or when fully charged.
For example: tables are automatically turned off when left unused, air conditioners have a motion sensor mode to adjust the power according to the number of people in the room.
The smarter the device is, the higher the power saving ability. Prioritize products with Eco, Sleep or automatic sensors.
Prioritizing Inverter technology
Equipment such as air conditioners, washing machines, refrigerators using vibration technology can flexibly adjust power, avoiding power consumption due to continuous start-ups. Compared to regular equipment, the Inverter helps save up to 40% of electricity during use.
Choose the capacity to suit your needs
A common mistake is to buy equipment with too high a capacity compared to the area or needs of use, leading to waste of electricity. Consult the manufacturer's instructions and a technician's advice before shopping.
Use a power socket with a switch and timer
apparatus such as TV, microwave, and computer, even when turned off, still consume electricity in standby mode. Using a socket with a separate switch or timer helps completely cut off the power source, avoiding unnecessary waste.
With a few smart options, modern families can maintain convenience while still saving energy and reducing operating costs. Investing in energy-saving equipment is a sustainable solution for the future.
