To reduce your energy costs, you don't have to stop turning on certain appliances.

Sometimes it is enough to correct some mistakes and the costs will be significantly reduced.

An example of a common oversight would be the undesirable action of placing a pot of freshly cooked soup on a shelf in the refrigerator.

It would seem that a refrigeration device is intended for storing food. But it is important to pay attention to the temperature of the food.

A common mistake of housewives

Many housewives often put containers with hot food in the refrigerator. For example, with soup, porridge, pasta or another dish.

This should never be done. You need to wait until the dish cools down. After all, the high temperature of the food inside the device increases the load on the device.

The refrigerator is "forced" to make the air even colder. The result is an increase in electricity consumption, reports TUT NEWS .

But large numbers on payment bills are not the only undesirable consequence.

If you often put dishes with hot food in the refrigerator, then sooner or later the housewife will face such an unpleasant effect as a breakdown of the device: it will not be able to cope with the excessive load forever.

As a result, there will be more expenses, because you will have to buy a new device.
