In winter, how can we save electricity?

With the full coverage of the power grid, the electric heating equipment used for heating in winter is also widely used everywhere. In recent years, due to the continuous promotion of the national policy of replacing coal with electricity, electric heating and clean energy equipment have also been promoted everywhere. There are many electric heating equipment, including electric radiator, electric heating furnace, electric heating film, heating cable, air energy heat pump and other electric heating equipment. Different users can choose their own heating methods according to their needs.

Electric heating equipment mainly relies on electric energy to produce heat, which is also charged according to electricity consumption. The same heating area or the same heating equipment will have different electricity consumption in each family. Why do some users always use little electricity in their homes? How to use electric heating equipment to save electricity?

The large power consumption of electric heating equipment is affected by many factors, mainly reflected in environmental factors, selection of electric heating equipment and electricity price policy. The following is a specific analysis of several factors:

1. Thermal insulation of buildings

The thermal insulation of a house can effectively resist the invasion of cold air into the room, and can also effectively reduce the external heat loss in the room. No matter what kind of electric heating method is used, the power consumption is closely related to the thermal insulation of the house. The better the thermal insulation performance is, the less the heat loss in the house is, and the power consumption of the electric heating equipment will naturally be less. Due to the influence of regional factors, the houses in the north have done better in the treatment of thermal insulation facilities, while the houses in the south pay less attention to thermal insulation, especially in rural areas. Therefore, if you want to reduce the power consumption of electric heating equipment, you must first work on the thermal insulation of the houses.

2. Tightness of doors and windows

In winter, the indoor temperature is higher than the outdoor temperature. In order to prevent indoor temperature loss and resist the invasion of outdoor cold air, the thermal insulation function of doors and windows plays an important role. The material, glass thickness, sealing degree and size of doors and windows of a door and window will affect the thermal insulation of the house, thus affecting the power consumption of electric heating equipment. In order to improve the sealing performance of doors and windows, it is necessary to regularly check the sealing tape between the window glass and the frame. In the process of long-term exposure to the sun and rain, the aging of the sealing tape is accelerated, and the ability to block the cold is also declining. Of course, one of the prerequisites is to choose a door and window structure with good sealing performance. When doors and windows are kept well sealed, outdoor cold air is more difficult to enter the room, and the heat loss in the room will be less, at this time, the power consumption of electric heating equipment will also be reduced.

3. Selection of electric heating equipment

There are many kinds of electric heating equipment. The most widely used ones are electric radiators, electric boilers, electric heating films and heating cables. There are both whole house heating and small-scale heating. In the selection of electric heating equipment, choose the right one instead of the expensive one. Select the appropriate electric heating equipment according to your own situation, which can not only meet the needs of heating the house, but also avoid excessive power consumption. Nowadays, there are air source heat pumps with high environmental protection, low power consumption, high comfort, good safety, strong stability, long service life, and multiple functions in one machine on the market. Compared with other electric heating equipment, air to water heat pump for heating  can save more than 70% energy, which can be used as a reference. Especially the heat pump with DC Inverter R32 Heat Pump, higher efficiency.

4. Electricity price policy

For the problem of electricity use, all regions have issued corresponding policies to use electricity off peak to save money and electricity. Users who use a lot of electricity at night will benefit from applying for peak and valley time sharing. For ordinary families, it will be more cost-effective to arrange household appliances that use a lot of electricity at low hours according to the peak and valley time periods. The same is true for heating equipment. According to the local actual situation, the power supply heating equipment can be set with a timing function to reasonably avoid the peak price, heat up at the valley value, and maintain an intelligent constant temperature at the peak value, so as to achieve a comfortable heating and energy saving effect.

5. Heating temperature control

For most people, the winter temperature is most comfortable between 18-22 ℃, and the electric heating equipment is also relatively energy-saving. However, when some users use electric heating equipment, they set the heating temperature very high, switch on and off the electric heating equipment frequently, and open windows for ventilation during heating, which will lead to increased power consumption of heating equipment. When using the heating equipment, it is usually necessary to set the indoor temperature at a reasonable range (the comfortable temperature in winter is between 18-22 ℃, the body feeling will be cold if the temperature is low, and it will be dry and hot if the temperature is high). In the daytime, the heating temperature can be lowered to make it operate at a constant temperature. When going out for a short time, the heating equipment is not turned off, but the indoor temperature is lowered. Ventilation and air exchange are carried out in different periods. The air exchange time each time is not more than 20 minutes, so that more heat can be kept indoors, It can also play a better power saving effect.

Summary

According to different environments and regions, users choose different heating methods. However, no matter what kind of electric heating equipment is used, in order to achieve both the heating effect and the purpose of saving electricity, efforts should be made in the heat preservation of the house, the airtightness of doors and windows, the selection of electric heating equipment, the electricity price policy and the control of heating temperature, so as to finally achieve the goal of comfortable heating and reduce the power consumption of electric heating equipment.
