There
are various appliances that one uses in today’s time to make the work easy and
avoid wastages. One of the appliances is a refrigerator, being used in every
house nowadays. This helps in preserving the things which are being left or
fruits and vegetables for a longer duration. This appliance consumes a lot of
energy to save these things, but this could be made more productive and
efficient –
Cool
off the food items – Before keeping anything inside the refrigerator, it is
always best to cool off the item. By doing this, it will help in reducing the
consumption of energy. By cooling the thing, heat is not added to the inner
side of appliances. If the food item is hot, then a refrigerator has to use
more energy to cool that thing. Along with it, if the food items are kept in
the refrigerator by covering it, then it will not allow the heat that is
remaining in a food item to reduce the cooling level of it.
Do
not open the doors – Whenever required, then only the doors of a
refrigerator should be opened. It is not right to open the door often, as it
will reduce the cooling effect of it. Even after opening the door and starting
to talk in front of it would not be right. As it is a wastage of energy, the
cool air will escape from a refrigerator, and thus more energy is being used to
produce that cooling effect on it.
Organize
the refrigerator properly – The racks inside the refrigerator should be organized
properly. In one of the racks, all the things should not be cluttered as then;
it will take more time to find a thing. It should be kept in such a way that it
is easy to find and take out the things easily. If a user were able to find and
take the food items easily, then there would be less escape of cool air from
the refrigerator, which will make it consume less energy.
Regular
defrosting – It is best to defrost the refrigerator
from time to time. When the frost is being built in the refrigerator, then it
takes a lot of energy to cool, and that becomes costly. Even if the
refrigerator is not being defrosted from time to time, then it could put a lot
of pressure on the machine or coil. This could make it work more and thus can
ruin the machinery of a refrigerator. So, with regular defrosting, the
mechanics of the refrigerator will have less pressure as well as not more
energy will be consumed.
If
the proper care of the refrigerator is being taken, then it can save a lot of
energy. This will highly reduce the bill of electricity, or the natural
resources would be saved. Some refrigerators come with a different energy star
rating; more the star rating is on the refrigerator indicates that it will
consume less energy and are more efficient in usage.
