11/12 - or use an air fryer! I use my air fryer almost exclusively and very rarely ever use my actual oven. It’s faster and uses much less electricity.

[@GoingZeroWaste]

Yes! Love it.

The tip on using off peak hours actually helps the inviorment here in Copenhagen. This is bc alot of our power comes from windmills and u cant store the energy from them. So on off peak hours a lot of their energy goes to waste where in the peak hours we have to power up the coal plants :)

[@ricksherman34]

I bought a nice full size natural gas grill and use this to make ALL of my meals on it... You can even use it like an oven if needed. I haven't used my electric range in over a year. 🤔

[@anniesshenanigans3815]

I looked up the different fridges. Side by side with water and ice dispenser suck the most electricity, top freezer doors use the least.

[@iriswelch3553]

We added a water heater timer to our electric water heater. We don't need hot water at night, and really only use hot water early morning and at dinner time.

[@ricksherman34]

it's not a matter of " cold air " escaping when opening your fridge. Having actual mass that can retain it's coldness ( actually resisting absorption of thermal energy ) is what helps the refrigerator be more efficient. I keep the freezer packed... but you should leave at least. 1/2 " gap around the edges to allow air to circulate and to allow proper defrost cycles. More thermal mass means you rely much less on having "cold" air in the fridge to maintain efficiency.

I use motion detection night lights or battery-operated almost exclusively for my lighting at night.

One thing that annoys me with dishwashers and resources is the attitude of owners. The actual thing is they say a dishwasher uses less water. However, the person saying that will leave the kitchen tap running while rinsing all their dishes and stacking them in the dishwasher. I can't see that saving water. No, I do not have a dishwasher (obviously I'm not in America) but I have lived in houses which have had one.

[@anniesshenanigans3815]

I don't rinse. No need if your dishwasher works properly. I also let air dry. My kitchen is very small and there's no place to stack dishes after washing if done by hand.

[@clara101]

I love all the plants in your background and I’d love this to be a series!

[@pigstain7531]

i think using diswasher machine is a waste of energy, most people in asian country washes dishes manually - using your hand and using organic washing dish soap and using loofah scrub or coconut husk i also think there many layers that we have to go through when talking about saving energy because often it tangle with other subjects like saving water. For example using low flow fauchet reduces the need to pump water thus reducing the need for electricity (pumping water from the home reservoir or home well). both saves water and electric. and your monthly bill. Designing natural flow of water using grabity reduces the need to pump using electricity, designing grey water to be reuse for plants watering also save water n pumping water just to water the plant .. i mean there are lotsof things that we all can improve

[@GoingZeroWaste]

It's a trade off because using a dishwasher is much more efficient in terms of water usage. The average modern dishwasher only uses 3-5 gallons of water and most people use a lot more than that when handwashing, and you'd need to be handwashing in cold water to not have the addition of extra energy being used for heat.

[@vegemitegirl1971]

@@GoingZeroWaste I do not have a dishwasher. I did. In Australia most homes do not have the double sink like in America. I have a small sink, which fits all my cleaning needs. I scrap off food gunk first. I only use 3.5 gallons of water and garden friendly detergent. I do not have water running whilst scraping off the food gunk, which goes into the compost. I also don't have the space in my kitchen or laundry.

@@pigstain7531 Do you mean me? My sink only holds 15 litres, which is less than 4 gallons. You can't put that much water in it and then put dishes in too

FYI. We have a Samsung French door refrigerator with the freezer on the bottom. It is only a couple of years old. It recently broke down and our repair man said he doesn’t recommend that brand with that style because he has seen a lot of breakdowns. It has something to do with the back getting too frozen and then a piece breaks and then it won’t keep cold. It was about a $400 repair. So just keep that in mind if you are shopping for a new frig.

[@GoingZeroWaste]

I don't recommend freezer under refrigerators! They are the most prone to breaking. We rent so really can't control it, but I wouldn't buy one. Great tips, wish I had mentioned that.

[@infoinfo-mw5ye]

Everyone I know with a Samsung fridge is miserable.

The risk of turning down your hot water temperature is that it doesn't kill any bacteria, so what is the lowest safest temperature without compromising your health.

I totally struggle with the laundry machine! We workout outside and our clothes need to be washed same day or the stink just doesn’t wash out. But we always use cold water! We have a brand new washer so luckily it is pretty efficient and uses very little water as it always senses the size of the load. It doesn’t even have a dial for load size!

[@carolynrodgers6836]

I add vinegar to my wash to remove odors

My electricity bill is around 50€ per month (Germany). I‘m shocked that there are people paying 600€ per year (=my electricity bill for a year!) only for running their fridge! Wow! I mean... I have a very small fridge, my dish washer doesn‘t even have a drying function etc... 😂🙈

[@GoingZeroWaste]

This is why there are so many rebate programs available! Older fridges us A LOT of energy. It's wild.

[@TiungeiaRichardson]

My utility bill for one month was $898 smh only because the landlord failed to tell us that the heater wasn't compatible with the house and they turned on the emergency heater which ran up our bill 😢. I'll use all these tips 🙏🏾

these are actually great tips.

For the fridge, I sold my old one to someone who wanted it for a cottage. I was glad it didn’t go to the waste land yet

[@kleptomelly]

Would love more tips like this. Our bill has slowly been going up over the last few years and I cannot figure it out for the life of me.

[@pigstain7531]

i suggest you browse articles on the internet on how to save electricity, how to save water, how to have a sustainable blue-grey water system in your home ( www.waterfootprint.org is a good start ) , home DIY that saves water usage and electrical usage (often we have to opt to manual tools/methodes), rethink on the electrical machines in your home and find out is there a way to do it manually with no electricity, etc. go to instagram n look for easy tips on how to have a sustainable home cheers

[@GoingZeroWaste]

Energy rates have probably increased too. I know that mine definitely have over the last few years, but I know that these tips will definitely help make a small dent when added together. Running appliances off peak will probably help a lot!

[@ilovegreen0150]

Don’t forget costs of inflation every year it goes up.

[@brg2743]

We have found that a front load washer which uses low kwh has really lowered our electric and water bill. A refrigerator that has a top freezer, uses low kwh and is energy star has really helped too. We also don't use the dryer much.

[@turquoisechocolate3027]

Great tips. Thanks. However you didn't mention taking unused appliances or tvs, lights, out of the plug when away from home long periods of time. Except the fridge.

Watering the roof with water during the summer for 30 seconds each half an hour reduced my cooling costs by 85%. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5XLmZeYfKdlqZY Here is another video of the same technique to trimm your cooling costs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKjUhHp5mNCsfs0 My electric bill is equal in spring or summer. There is no difference. It seems the AC units are not turned on during the summer. All the heat hitting the house is removed by small amount of waters. I only invested 60 US dollars on the system. Instantaneous results. We got summer temperatures of 40 C (104 F) every summer.

Set the overnight temp WAAAAAY DOWN. SO LOW (48 F) so that the air temp can go as low as 50. THEN: GET A MATTRESS HEATING PAD FOR EACH bed. They use only 80 watts. But your gas burner/boiler WILL STAY OFF ALL NIGHT LONG!!! HUGE SAVINGS!!!!
