Lifehacks from DTEK Kyiv Regional Grids: how to save over 200 UAH/month on electricity

Save your money by purchasing the “Day/Night” meter. This is possible due to the device registering volume of consumed electricity separately during the day and during the night. From 23:00 to 7:00 the cost of electricity is 50% less than during the other period of the day.  

Every home has household appliances that constantly consume electricity, – i.e., a refrigerator or a Wi-Fi router. With these appliances alone, a “Day/Night” meter will help you save 200 UAH on electricity bills, providing overall monthly consumption of 500 kW-h, while not changing your lifestyle and habits. 

And in order to save even more, try using our lifehacks: 

• The easiest one – charge all your gadgets at night; 
• Heat water in the boiler at night. If you do not have an opportunity to program heating of water at a specific time, take a shower at 22:00 – 23:00. Then, the boiler will heat the next volume of water at night; 
• Use night mode in all possible appliances. This may be a washing machine, a dishwasher or a multicooker; 

Following these steps will save your budget nearly 400 UAH per month, providing consumption of 500 kW-h, and nearly 4,500 UAH per year.
