The rise in the Euribor, in the shopping basket, in energy… Prices keep rising. And that leads us to have to adapt and try to save some money wherever possible. When it comes to economizing at home, in addition to insulating windows or avoiding drafts under the doors, we must get hold of devices that help us optimize energy expenditure to lower the energy tariff.
A timer to save on the consumption of the electric water heater
In the event that at home you use a electric thermosat Amazon we have signed a very economical solution that will allow you save on the electricity bill: a timer TP-Link TAPO P100.
Electric water heaters heat cold water through an internal system of electrical resistances. By means of a thermostat, it turns off automatically when they reach the desired temperature. The problem is that every time it detects that the temperature drops, the thermos turns on until it reaches the desired temperature again.
Thanks to this device, we will be able to program the thermos so that it works only a few hours a day, thus saving electricity while having hot water without any problem. This is how our colleague from Xataka Smart Home, José Antonio Carmona, explains it to us.
The best-selling electricity saving device on Amazon
This device to save energy with the electric water heater is the best seller on Amazon, and has thousands of positive reviews. In addition, if you have an electricity tariff at home with hourly discrimination, you can activate the thermos during the hours when electricity consumption is cheaper.
The device can be controlled from our smartphone: just download the Tapo app (available on both Android and iOS) and connect the device to your home WiFi network. And in case you have any doubts, the timer TP-Link TAPO P100 is discounted. Before it cost 14.99 euros, and now after applying a 33% discount, it costs 9.99 euros.
