Energy conservation in homes
Energy conservation in homes depends on the principle that energy can neither be created
or destroyed but rather be converted from one form to another. Hence for domestic or home
energy conservation, it's upon occupants to implement energy-saving tips by either reducing
main grid consumption dependence by substituting the conventional electric power sources with
the renewable electric power sources such as the use of solar panels or windmills to convert wind
kinetic energy to electric energy for domestic use. The second way of conserving energy is
through regulation on energy consumption through the use of electric gadgets with less
consumption rate, regulating the use of some electrical appliances, that is connecting to a power
source when the need arises.
The safety of our homes and kids depends on how we use electrical appliances, the type
of appliances we use, and the type of wiring in homes. First, to be safe and free from electrical
hazards, the wiring system in my home is done in line with the required standards: the sockets
line connection is made differ5ent with the lighting line connection with each line having a
recommended fuse rating. The safety of the appliance depends on the wire used. Copper wire is
used for home wiring since it is not susceptible to temperature fluctuation hence minimized risk
of fire as compared to aluminum cables. The socket lines all have the earthling system that runs
deep into the ground to protect the appliances in case there is a power surge. For the safety of
kids, the sockets used have a spring-loaded shutter that only opens when equal pressure is
applied to both shutters. Therefore, kids cannot insert foreign metallic objects in the sockets
exposing them to the risk of being electro circuited. House wiring is fitted with ground fault
circuit interrupters that promote safety by quickly shutting off the power when electricity
