Indlela yokwenza isigqibo sokulungisa okanye ukubuyisela ifriji?

Iwasha yokuphefumla.Ifriji kwifritz.Xa izixhobo zakho zombane zasekhaya zigula, unokusokola ngalo mbuzo ungapheliyo: Lungisa okanye utshintshe?Ngokuqinisekileyo, into entsha ihlala ilungile, kodwa oko kunokuba nexabiso.Nangona kunjalo, ukuba ufaka imali ekulungiseni, ngubani onokuthi ayisayi kuphinda iphinde iphinde iphinde iphinde iphinde iphinde iphinde iphinde iphinde iphinde iphinde iphinde iphinde iphinde ilungiswe?Izigqibo, izigqibo...

Ungaphindi ube manzi, baninimzi: Zibuze le mibuzo mihlanu ukuze ufumane ingcaciso malunga nento omawuyenze.

1. Sidala kangakanani isixhobo?

Izixhobo zombane azenzelwe ukuba zihlale ngonaphakade, kwaye umgaqo jikelele kukuba xa isixhobo sakho sifikelele kwiminyaka yobudala esi-7 okanye ngaphezulu, mhlawumbi lixesha lokutshintshwa, utsho.UTim Adkisson, umlawuli wobunjineli bemveliso yeSears Home Services.

Nangona kunjalo, iminyaka yesixhobo sombane yimetric yokuqala ekufuneka ithathelwe ingqalelo xa ufumanisa ukuba bungakanani ubomi "obuluncedo" obusele, wongeza.

Kungenxa yokuba ubude bobomi besixhobo sasekhaya buyahluka ngokusekelwe kwezinye izinto ezimbalwa.Okokuqala, qwalasela ukuba isetyenziswa kaninzi kangakanani-umatshini wokuhlamba umntu omnye uya kuhlala ixesha elide kunosapho ngenxa yokuba, ke, ukuhlamba iimpahla zabantwana ezingapheliyo.

Emva koko, yiqonde loo ntoukugcinwa kwesiqhelo—okanye ukungabikho kwayo—kunokubuchaphazela ubomi bobomi.Ukuba awuzangecoca iikhoyili zecondenser yefriji yakho, umzekelo, ayiyi kusebenza kakuhle njengefriji ecocwa iikhoyili zayo kabini ngonyaka.

Inyaniso,ukwenza ulondolozo rhoqokwizixhobo zakho zombane yeyona nto iphambili ekufumaneni imali yakho kubo ngokuphila ixesha elide, ukusebenza okuthembekileyo, kunye nokusebenza kakuhle, utshilo.UJim Roark, umongameli kaMnu. Appliance of Tampa Bay, FL.

2. Kuya kubiza malini ukulungisa?

Iindleko zokulungisa izixhobo zingahluka kakhulu ngokuxhomekeke kuhlobo lokulungisa kunye ne-brand yesixhobo.Yiyo loo nto kufuneka uqwalasele ukurhweba phakathi kweendleko zokuyilungisa kunye neendleko zesixhobo sokutshintsha.

Omnye umgaqo, utsho u-Adkisson, kukuba bubulumko ukutshintshela isixhobo sombane ukuba ukulungiswa kuya kubiza ngaphezulu kwesiqingatha sexabiso lesinye esitsha.Ngoko ukuba entshai-oveniizakukuqhuba $400, awufuni kuchitha ngaphezulu kwe $200 ukulungisa iyunithi yakho ekhoyo.

Kwakhona, cinga ukuba umatshini wakho uwohloka kangakanani, ucebisa uRoark: Ukuhlawula rhoqo ukulungiswa kunokongeza ngokukhawuleza, ngoko ke ukuba ingxaki efanayo iye yanyuka ngaphezu kwesinye, mhlawumbi lixesha lokuphosa itawuli.

3. Kubandakanyeke kangakanani ukulungiswa?

Ngamanye amaxesha, uhlobo lolungiso lunokuyalela ukuba ufuna umatshini omtsha endaweni yokulungiswa.Umzekelo, uphawu lokubuyisela iwasha kukuphazamiseka kokuhanjiswa komatshini, onoxanduva lokujika igubu lewasha kunye nokutshintsha amanzi kuyo yonke imijikelo.

“Ukuzama ukususa okanye ukulungisa usasazo kunzima kakhulu,” utshilo uRoark.

Ngokwahlukileyo, ikhowudi yephutha kwipaneli yokulawula inokulungiswa lula.

"Unokwethuka ekuqaleni kwaye ucinge ukuba iindlela zangaphakathi zekhompyuter zophukile, kodwa ngokwesiqhelo ingcali iyakwazi ukuyicwangcisa kwakhona," wongeza uRoark.

Ngezantsi: Kububulumko ukufumana umnxeba wenkonzo ukuze ufumanise ukuba yintoni na ngaphambi kokuba ucinge ukuba ayinakusindiswa.

4. Ingaba isixhobo sombane esitshintshayo siya konga imali ekuhambeni kwexesha?

Uyakufuna kwakhona ukuqwalasela ukuba yimalini na ukusebenzisa isixhobo, ukongeza kwixabiso lokuthenga.Kungenxa yokuba ukusebenza kakuhle kwamandla kwezixhobo zombane kunokuba nempembelelo enkulu kusetyenziso lwamandla ekhaya lulonke: Izixhobo zithatha i-12% yeebhili zamandla zekhaya zonyaka, ngokutsho kwe-EnergyStar.gov.

Ukuba isixhobo sakho esigulayo asiqinisekiswanga nge-Energy Star-, oko kunokuba sisizathu esingakumbi sokucinga ukusitshintsha, kuba ngokuqinisekileyo uya konga imali nyanga nenyanga ngamatyala asezantsi amandla, utshilo uPaul Campbell, umlawuli wozinzo kunye nobunkokeli obuluhlaza beSears Holdings Corp. .

Ngokomzekelo, ukhankanya iwasha eqinisekisiweyo ye-Energy Star, esebenzisa malunga nama-70% amandla angaphantsi kunye nama-75% ngaphantsi kwamanzi kunewasha eqhelekileyo eneminyaka engama-20 ubudala.

5. Ngaba isixhobo sakho esidala singamnceda umntu osweleyo?

Kwaye ekugqibeleni, uninzi lwethu luyathandabuza ukulahla isixhobo sombane ngenxa yeendleko zokusingqongileyo ezinxulumene nenkunkuma.Ngelixa leyo ingumba ekufuneka uyiqwalasele, khumbula ukuba isixhobo sakho esidala asiyi ngqo kwindawo yokulahla inkunkuma, amanqaku eCampbell.

Ngokusebenzisa inkqubo yokuLahla iSixhobo esineNgxelo exhaswa yi-Arhente yoKhuseleko lokuSingqongileyo, iinkampani zirhuqa kwaye zilahla ngokufanelekileyo izixhobo zombane zabathengi xa zithenga iimveliso ezintsha, ezonga amandla.

"Umthengi unokuthemba ukuba imveliso yakhe endala iya kutshatyalaliswa kwaye izixhobo zihlaziywe ngokulandela iinkqubo ezibhaliweyo zokusingqongileyo," utshilo uCampbell.
