The fridge
It would be good to remember that every time you open the door of a refrigerator or a freezer the energy consumption increases due to thermal dispersion; it is therefore appropriate to avoid opening fridge and freezer too often and too long.
You must then check that the rubber seals of the fridge door are always in good condition.
In fact, the seal prevents leakage of hot air that could translate into a greater stress for the fridge and therefore more energy consumption.
The dishwasher
Select the washing option in accordance with the actual level of dirt on the tableware.
In summer, among other things, we always tend to eat lighter and have less fat so you may choose to set a different washing option from the one used in winter, remember to start the dishwasher only when it is fully loaded.
The best time to use the dishwasher is between 5 pm and 10 am the morning after.
Washing machine
For a lower power consumption you should use the low temperature washes, remembering that the 90° cycle with pre-wash is the most inefficient for energy use.
Fit an aerator to your taps
Nothing is more usual in the kitchen than fiddling with the taps.
Repair a dripping tap
Prompt repair of any damage or anomaly in the water system is recommended more than ever.
Among other things you also benefit in health, avoiding annoying nighttime clicking sounds.
Soak vegetables instead of washing them with running water
It is true that vegetables should be washed thoroughly, but this is equally effective if you soak them in a bowl using running water only for a quick final rinse.
Recycle used water for watering plants
For daily watering of plants and flowers, you can use already used water.
