Summer comes with long days, heat and? and sometimes skyrocketing electricity bills. Air conditioning, fans, fridges working at full blast and more time at home can cause consumption to soar. But don't worry, there are smart ways to keep your home cool and efficient. From Axarfusión, we bring you some tips and technologies that will help you reduce your electricity consumption without sacrificing comfort.
🧠 1. Smart thermostats - the cool brain of the home
Smart thermostats learn your routines and adjust the temperature automatically. You can control them from your mobile phone and prevent the air from running longer than necessary. 👉 Brands such as Nest, Tado or Netatmo are easy to install and very efficient.
🕰️ 2. Smart plugs: turn off what you don't use
Don't let your devices keep consuming energy when you don't need them. With smart plugs, you can schedule automatic shutoffs or control them by voice (if you connect them with Alexa or Google Home).
☀️ 3. Awnings, blinds and light sensors
It's not all about electronics. Timely lowered blinds or daylight sensors can greatly reduce the use of air conditioning. There are home automation solutions that lower blinds when they detect that the sun is shining brightly.
📱 4. Apps to monitor your consumption
Did you know that you can see which appliances consume the most? There are apps and devices such as Mirubee or EnergyCloud that show you consumption in real time and give you personalised recommendations for saving.
❄️ 5. Opt for efficient air conditioning
If you are going to install air conditioning, make sure it has inverter technology, energy label A+++ and remote control from your mobile phone. At Axarfusión and Click Solar we offer you air conditioning installed and ready to work, adapted to your home and without complications.
💡 Extra tip: WiFi is also a power consumer.
Turn off the router when you're not at home or at night if you don't need it - it all adds up when it comes to saving money!
✅ In short...
Getting your home ready for summer is not just a matter of turning on the fan. With a bit of technology and good habits, you can keep your home cool, save on your electricity bill and live a more sustainable summer. And remember: if you need a fast, stable and uninterrupted connection to manage everything from your mobile, Axarfusión will connect you without complications 🌐
