19 Energy Efficiency Myths Debunked
\n\n\nClimate change has inspired multiple countries to join together to reduce carbon emissions, decrease energy use, and become more sustainable. Many countries have encouraged Energy-Efficiency strategies by offering special tax and financial incentives for homeowners and the elderly.
\n\n\n\nCurrently, 70% of UK’s household energy is used towards heating, however, this can be brought down by employing some simple Energy-Efficiency strategies. But with so many different tips, it’s hard to know which strategies work. Greenmatch wants to clear popular misconceptions and debunk these popular Energy-Efficiency myths through our unique infographic below:
\n\n\n![\"Energy](\"https://cdn.greenmatch.co.uk/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto/2/2022/10/energy_efficiency_myths_infographic.png\")
1. Using Appliances During the Day Is the Best Way to Save Money.
\n\n\n\nThe UK government has encouraged homeowners to use appliances during the evening between 12AM – 6AM to pay less for electricity. UK Homeowners can apply for the Economy 7 Tariff program, a government tax tariff program to help reduce the overwhelmingly energy costs.
\n\n\n\n2. Having Heating on Low All Day Is Better Than Having It on High
\n\n\n\nThis is absolutely wrong because you’re instead losing energy. Rather, you should consider installing a timer to your thermostat so that it turns on and off at specific times throughout the day.
\n\n\n\n3. Turning the Temperature Down Won’t Save you Much
\n\n\n\nThe World Health Organization’s suggestion is that we keep the minimum temperature at 21 degree celsius. However, if you simply reduce this by 1 degree, you can potentially save about 10% on your next utility bill.
\n\n\n\n4. Solar Panels are Expensive and Do Not Save You Energy in the UK?
\n\n\n\nSolar Panels gradually gather electricity throughout the year and may be able to power a 3 bedroom family home for a year.
\n\n\n\n5. Central Heating Systems Heat your Home Better
\n\n\n\nAlthough this would work best for the main room, it is actually better to have individual thermostatic radiator valves for each individual room. This will help reduce wasted energy because you can select rooms to have specific heating.
\n\n\n\n6. Energy-Efficient Furnaces and Air Conditioners automatically Reduce Energy Usage
\n\n\n\nIf installation is done correctly, then it should be able to save heated or cool air from going to waste. If installations are done incorrectly, you can waste about ⅓ of heated or cool air
\n\n\n\n7. Tumble Dryers Saves you Energy
\n\n\n\nIt’s better to use an airer to hang your clothes which requires no energy. If the weather is okay, then it would be better to dry outside.
\n\n\n\n8. Heater is On: Open or Close Each Room
\n\n\n\nWhen doors are closed, the heat can stay within a room. If you would want the house to be heated in each room, it would be best to add individual thermostatic radiator valves.
\n\n\n\n9. Painting Radiators Black Conserves and Reflects Heat
\n\n\n\nUnfortunately, this would have no significant effect in containing heat, it would be best to keep them white. However, by adding cheap Radiator panels, you can help reflect and circulate heated air in rooms.
\n\n\n\n10. Closing Curtains Conserves Heat and Keeps Your House Cool
\n\n\n\nLeaving the curtains closed can block sunlight to keep house cool but, an easy way to warm the house will be by opening the curtains. Sunlight is completely free and enters easily through glass frames. Go Nature!
\n\n\n\n11. Clingon Plastic Wrap is the Solution to Containing Heat
\n\n\n\nThis short-term solution may trap some air, but it will only work for a limited time and is ineffective compared to replacing the window. Double Glazed Windows will have a significant effect by reducing the threshold of the window to the frame and, the extra layer will act as an insulation to trap the air.
\n\n\n\n12. Devices are Off and Plugged into the Wall, No Worries
\n\n\n\nAlthough this may have been true in the past, many modern devices have standby power which still uses energy even when powered down. Don’t let the Vampire Power suck up that electricity and charge you for unused devices. Simply unplug when you’re not using your devices.
\n\n\n\n13. Computer Screensavers are Awesome and Save You Energy
\n\n\n\nThere are several interesting screensavers that are visually appealing but, your computer is operating fully which is wasting energy. It would be beneficial to simply turn your device completely off while not in use.
\n\n\n\n14. Duct Tape is Good for Sealing Leaks in the Duct System
\n\n\n\nDuct tape have been proven to be an ineffective method of concealment because the tape falls off, adhesive dries out and wrinkles away. Fully replace and repair Duct System to avoid future repair costs.
\n\n\n\n15. Closing the vents in unused rooms to save energy
\n\n\n\nClosing the vents in unused rooms may seem logical, however, this simply redirects it to other areas of the home and escapes through a leak in the duct system. This redirection also pushes air through the system and can wear your fan out because it’s working harder and using more energy.
\n\n\n\n16. Use an Electric Heater to Save Costs and Heat Rooms Faster
\n\n\n\nElectricity is typically the highest cost of your utilities, and using two electric space heaters is equal to using a Central Gas Powered System. So, it’s better to use that and, if possible, individual thermostatic radiators valves for each room to control each heating.
\n\n\n\n17. Most Heat Is Lost Through Windows
\n\n\n\nThis is not true at all. Up to 35% of heat can be lost through uninsulated walls, while only 10% can be lost through windows.
\n\n\n\n18. If You Want the Warmest Seat, Put the Sofa in Front of the Radiator
\n\n\n\nNo, move your sofa as soon as possible. Even though the owner of the sofa may have the warmest bottom, the heat will not circulate freely and not heat the room properly.
\n\n\n\n19. If You’re Leaving Your UK Home for Winter Vacations, Turn the Heater Off
\n\n\n\nIf you’re out of home during the winter, you should highly consider leaving the heating on at a low setting during specific times to prevent frozen pipes. Save money on future reparation costs and conserve energy by leaving it on a low setting.

19节能神话揭穿
气候变化激发了多个国家联合起来,以减少碳排放,减少能源使用,变得更可持续。许多国家鼓励节能策略通过提供特殊的税收和财政激励房主和老年人。
目前,70%的英国家庭能源使用加热,然而,这可以通过使用一些简单的节能策略。但有这么多不同的技巧,很难知道哪些策略工作。Greenmatch想清楚流行的误解和揭穿这些受欢迎的节能神话通过我们独特的信息如下:
1。白天使用电器是最好的省钱方法。
英国政府鼓励房主用电器在晚上12点- 6点之间支付更少的电力。英国房主可以申请经济7关税计划,政府税收关税的计划,帮助减少能源成本。

9。绘画散热器黑色保存和反映热
不幸的是,这将包含热没有显著的影响,最好是让他们白。然而,通过添加廉价的散热板,你可以在房间帮助反映和热空气流通。
10。关闭窗帘保存热量,保持你的房子很酷
把窗帘可以阻止阳光的房子保持凉爽,但一个简单的方法来温暖众议院将通过打开窗帘。阳光是完全免费的,进入容易通过玻璃框架。去大自然!
11。Clingon包含热塑料包装的解决方案
这种短期解决方案可能陷阱一些空气,但它只能工作在有限的时间内和替换窗口相比是无效的。双层玻璃窗可将有一个显著的影响通过减少窗口框架的门槛,额外的层将作为一个绝缘的空气。
12。设备被插在墙上的,不用担心
虽然这可能是真正的过去,许多现代设备备用电源仍然使用能量即使断电。不要让吸血鬼力量吸收电力和收你为未使用的设备。简单地拔掉当你不使用你的设备。
13。电脑屏保是可怕的和节省能源
有几个有趣的屏保,视觉上吸引人,但你的电脑操作完全是浪费能源。这将是有益的简单地关掉你的设备完全而不使用的。
14。胶带密封泄漏的管道系统来说是个不错的选择
胶带已经被证明是无效的方法隐藏因为胶带脱落,胶会变干和皱纹。完全替代和修复管道系统,以避免未来的维修费用。
15。关闭通风口在闲置的房间里来节约能源
关闭通风口在闲置的房间里似乎是合乎逻辑的,然而,这只是重定向到家里的其他地方,通过管道系统的泄漏逃。这种重定向也推动空气通过系统,可以穿你的风扇,因为它是更加努力的工作和使用更多的能量。
16。使用电加热器节约成本和热房间更快
电力成本通常是最高的实用程序,并使用两个电暖器等于使用中央气体动力系统。所以,最好使用,如果可能的话,个人为每个房间散热器恒温控制阀来控制每个加热。
17所示。大多数通过窗户热损失
这是不正确的。多达35%的热量可以通过未绝缘的失去了墙壁,而只有10%可以通过windows丢失。
18岁。如果你想最热烈的座位,把沙发前的散热器
不,尽快把你的沙发。虽然沙发的所有者可能最热的底部,热量不会自由流通,不能正常加热房间。
