Iwasha ehefuzayo.Ifriji ku-fritz.Lapho izinto zakho zikagesi zasendlini zigula, ungase ube nobunzima ngalowo mbuzo ongapheli: Ukulungisa noma ukubuyisela?Impela, okusha kuhlala kukuhle, kepha lokho kungabiza.Kodwa-ke, uma ufaka imali ekulungiseni, ubani ongasho ukuthi ngeke kuphinde kuphuke ngokuhamba kwesikhathi?Izinqumo, izinqumo...
Ungabe usabalisa, banikazi bezindlu: Zibuze le mibuzo emihlanu ukuze uthole ukucaciseleka kokuthi yini okufanele uyenze.
1. Ungakanani umshini?
Izinto zikagesi azenzelwe ukuthi zihlale unomphela, futhi umthetho ojwayelekile wukuthi uma umshini wakho osebenza ngogesi usufinyelele eminyakeni yobudala eyi-7 noma ngaphezulu, cishe yisikhathi sokushintshwa, kusho.U-Tim Adkisson, umqondisi wobunjiniyela bomkhiqizo weSears Home Services.
Kodwa-ke, iminyaka yohlelo lokusebenza imane nje iyimethrikhi yokuqala okufanele icatshangelwe lapho kutholwa ukuthi kusele impilo “ewusizo” kangakanani, uyanezela.
Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi ubude besikhathi sokuphila kwento esetshenziswa ekhaya iyahlukahluka kuye kwezinye izici ezimbalwa.Okokuqala, cabanga ukuthi usetshenziswa kaningi kangakanani—umshini wokuwasha womuntu oyedwa ngokuvamile uzohlala isikhathi eside kunowomndeni ngoba, empeleni, ilondolo yezingane engapheli.
Bese-ke, kuqonde lokhoukugcinwa okujwayelekile—noma ukuntuleka kwakho—kungase kuthinte ubude besikhathi sokuphila.Uma ungalokothihlanza amakhoyili e-condenser yesiqandisi sakho, ngokwesibonelo, ngeke isebenze ngokuphumelelayo njengesiqandisi esihlanzwa amakhoyili aso kabili ngonyaka.
Empeleni,ukwenza njalo ukulungisaezintweni zakho zikagesi kuyisici esibalulekile ekukhipheni imali yakho kuzo ngokuphila isikhathi eside, ukusebenza okuthembekile, kanye nokusebenza kahle okwandisiwe, kusho.UJim Roark, umongameli kaMnu. Appliance waseTampa Bay, FL.
2. Kuzobiza malini ukulungisa?
Izindleko zokulungisa izinto zikagesi zingahluka kakhulu kuye ngohlobo lokulungisa kanye nohlobo lomshini.Kungakho kufanele ucabangele ukuhwebelana phakathi kwezindleko zokukhanda kanye nezindleko zomshini oshintshwayo.
Umthetho owodwa wesithupha, kusho u-Adkisson, ukuthi mhlawumbe kuwukuhlakanipha ukushintsha umshini uma ukulungisa kuzobiza ngaphezu kwesigamu senani lelisha.Ngakho uma entshaihhaviniizokwenzela u-$400, ngeke ufune ukusebenzisa imali engaphezu kuka-$200 ukuze ulungise iyunithi yakho ekhona.
Futhi, cabanga ukuthi umshini wakho uphuka kaningi kangakanani, kweluleka uRoark: Ukuhlala ukhokhela ukulungiswa kungangeza ngokushesha, ngakho-ke uma inkinga efanayo inqamuke izikhathi ezingaphezu kwesisodwa, cishe yisikhathi sokuphonsa ithawula.
3. Kuhileleke kangakanani ukulungisa?
Kwesinye isikhathi, uhlobo lokulungisa lungasho ukuthi udinga umshini omusha esikhundleni sokulungiswa.Isibonelo, uphawu olushintshayo lwewasha luwukuwohloka kokudluliswa komshini, onesibopho sokuphendula isigubhu sewasha nokuguqula amanzi kuyo yonke imijikelezo.
"Ukuzama ukususa noma ukulungisa ukudluliselwa kunzima kakhulu," kusho uRoark.
Ngokuphambene, ikhodi yephutha kuphaneli yokulawula ingalungiswa kalula.
“Ungase uqale wethuke futhi ucabange ukuthi izindlela zangaphakathi zekhompuyutha zomshini wakho ziphukile, kodwa ngokuvamile uchwepheshe uyakwazi ukuwuhlela kabusha,” kwengeza u-Roark.
Iphuzu elibalulekile: Kuwukuhlakanipha ukuthola ucingo lwesevisi ukuze uthole ukuthi kwenzakalani ngaphambi kokuthi ucabange ukuthi akulungiseki.
4. Ingabe into eshintshwayo izokonga imali ngokuhamba kwesikhathi?
Uzophinde ufune ukucabangela ukuthi kubiza malini ukusebenzisa umshini, ngaphezu kwentengo yokuthenga.Lokho kungenxa yokuthi ukusebenza kahle kwamandla kagesi kungase kube nomthelela omkhulu ekusetshenzisweni kwamandla kwasendlini kuphelele: Izinto zikagesi zithatha u-12% wezikweletu zaminyaka yonke zamandla wasendlini, ngokusho kwe-EnergyStar.gov.
Uma umshini wakho ogulayo ungaqinisekisiwe nge-Energy Star-, lokho kungase kube isizathu esengeziwe sokucabanga ukuwushintsha, njengoba cishe uzokonga imali inyanga ngayinye ngezikweletu eziphansi zamandla, kusho uPaul Campbell, umqondisi wezokusimama nobuholi obuluhlaza beSears Holdings Corp. .
Njengesibonelo, ucaphuna iwasha evamile eqinisekisiwe ye-Energy Star, esebenzisa cishe amandla angaphansi ngo-70% namanzi angaphansi ngo-75% kunewasha evamile eneminyaka engama-20 ubudala.
5. Ingabe umshini wakho omdala ungamsiza umuntu oswele?
Futhi ekugcineni, abaningi bethu bayangabaza ukukhipha umshini osebenza ngogesi ngenxa yezindleko zemvelo ezihlobene nodoti.Nakuba lokho kuyisici okufanele ucatshangelwe, khumbula ukuthi umshini wakho omdala awuhambi ngokuqondile endaweni yokulahla imfucumfucu, amanothi kaCampbell.
Ngohlelo Lokuchithwa Kwezinto Ezisebenza Kahle oluxhaswe yi-Ejensi Yokuvikela Imvelo, izinkampani zidonsa futhi zilahle izinto zamakhasimende ngokuzibophezela lapho zithenga imikhiqizo emisha, eyonga amandla.
“Ikhasimende lingathemba ukuthi umkhiqizo walo omdala uzokwehliswa futhi izingxenye zigaywe kabusha ngokulandela izinqubo ezibhaliwe ezihambisana nemvelo,” kusho uCampbell.
