House Tips and Trick: How to Save Energy at Home on 2023?

Global warming certainly happens quickly because of the impact of factories and PLTU. Over time, the basic electricity tariff continues to increase rapidly, the burden on the community is getting heavier and the hope of enjoying electric lighting at a low price is getting further. Although there are solutions that can be used, such as using solar power tools, they require money that is not cheap to purchase and install.

Fortunately, there is still good news, we can still enjoy saving electricity costs without having to reduce the number of lights around us so that they can stay bright. Goodbye to a dim and dark environment, the secret is to build an Energy-Efficient House, which is a house that is able to optimize the use of electrical power with the most efficient energy possible.

The concept of an energy-efficient home can reduce your lighting electricity costs by up to 80%, also at the same time can help ease the daily routine tasks of turning on and off lights and some home appliances to be automatic with light sensors, motion sensors and programmable digital timers.

Currently, to make this happen (energy-efficient houses) is not difficult, there are many supporting equipment available and the most important thing is that the construction costs are very affordable.

Here are some of the tools and functions needed to build an energy-efficient house, how to save energy at home tips; how to save on energy costs at home:

1. ENERGY SAVING LED LIGHTS

LED (Light Emitting Diode) lamp is one type of energy-saving lamp, this lamp is used for almost all rooms in the house. The use of led lamps with the same level of light strength (brightness) requires 8x more efficient electricity than ordinary incandescent lamps or 2x more efficient than Neon type energy-saving lamps. LED type lamps also have a lifespan of 32x longer than ordinary incandescent lamps. The price of a 7 watt energy-saving led lamp, Rp. 40,000,-

2. LIGHT SENSOR LED LIGHT

This lamp is intended for lights outside the house (terrace lamps, garden lamps, street lighting lamps, etc.). By using a light sensor led light, besides being able to turn on and off using a switch as usual, it can also automatically turn on at night toba (dark conditions) and automatically turn off in the morning (light conditions). Thus the wastage of electricity due to forgetting to turn off the porch lights etc. can be avoided. The price of a 7 watt light sensor led lamp, Rp. 45.000,-

3. MOTION SENSOR LED LIGHT

This lamp is intended for lighting in special places such as bathrooms, warehouses, building hallways, etc. By using a motion sensor led light, besides being able to turn on and off using a switch as usual, it can also automatically turn on when it detects movement (people) and automatically turns off a few minutes later after it no longer detects movement. Thus the waste of electricity due to forgetting to turn off the bathroom lights, warehouse lights, hallway lights, etc. can be avoided. The price of a 7 watt motion sensor led light, Rp. 75.000,-

4. LED EMERGENCY LIGHTS

Emergency + Emergency light

This lamp has a dual function, besides being able to be used to meet the needs of lighting in the house, it can also be used as an emergency lamp when the electricity goes out.

This lamp is equipped with a power outage sensor and a battery inside so that it will automatically turn on for up to 4 hours even though the power goes out. This lamp can be used to replace led lights in rooms that require lighting when the electricity goes out, some even replace all led lights with emergency led lights so that they are free from lighting problems when the electricity goes out. The price of a 7 watt led emergency light, Rp. 85.000,-

This timer is used to set daily to weekly ON or OFF timers for home electrical appliances. Very useful for saving the electricity use of your home appliances when not in use:

– Auto power off TV, dispenser, refrigerator, etc. at night.

– Auto power off the SmartPhone Charger so that there is no over charging.

- Automatically cook rice every morning, at night the rice cooker is filled with rice, wake up in the morning it's ready to sleep so you can sleep better. . Price of programmable digital timer, Rp. 85.000,-

6. LIGHT SENSOR LIGHT FITTING

The light sensor light fitting is used in conjunction with led lights or can be combined with led emergency lights so that it has an automatic function ON at night (dark) and off in the morning (bright) as well as having a function as a lighting lamp when the electricity goes out. Price of light sensor lamp fittings, Rp. 35.000,-
