 How to save electricity?  Take care of these seven things

To save electricity you can switch off all appliances that are not currently in use.

 At the end of each month, especially during hot or cold weather, the question everyone asks is how much is the electricity bill this time?

 When it comes to high bills, most people seem to be reluctant to do so and claim that they have used electricity only when needed.

 But the authorities often give some necessary instructions along with the bill which are ignored, such as when the rate of electricity per unit will be higher, which electrical appliances use more electricity and air conditioner (AC). ) Can be used sparingly.

 The electricity bill is of course often a nuisance but if you take care of a few things the electricity bill can be reduced.

Here are seven things to keep in mind:

Frozen foods can be de-frosted in water before being heated in a microwave oven

 Turn off the appliance

 Most parents urge their children to turn off unnecessary lights and their scolding is not unreasonable.

 To save electricity, you can switch off all appliances that are not currently in use. For example, fans, lights, TV, computer.

 If you are not using them, keep them off at all times, instead of running them or keeping them on standby.

 Sometimes the bathroom or balcony lights are on. If they are turned off, it will significantly reduce the electricity bill.

 If you are not using washing machines or irons, switch them off. If you do not use a computer or TV, put them to sleep mode or turn them off.

Turn off unnecessary lights to save electricity

 Use less energy efficient devices

 Energy saver bulbs or LED lights use much less energy than conventional bulbs. Whereas a conventional lamp uses 100 watts, an energy saver lamp consumes only 25 watts.

 Although these lamps are expensive in the market, they last for many days and they also reduce the electricity bill considerably.

 If we use inverter based refrigerator, AC and washing machine, the electricity bill can be reduced by two thirds.

 Use controlled AC

 The use of AC in homes has now become a norm but it is possible to reduce the electricity bill if they are used carefully.

 Always keep the AC temperature at 25 degrees Celsius or less. When it has cooled to the proper level, you can use the fan after turning it off.

 It is best to keep the timer on at night so that the AC shuts off automatically after proper cooling.

 Automatically turning on the AC fan, keeping the filter clean and better room insulation can also be helpful.

Turn on the AC timer so that it cools the room and shuts off automatically

 Use standard equipment

 It also depends on the electricity bill, connection and cable. If the cable is not standard and the connection is weak or shaky, it produces low voltage which increases the bill.

 If the substation of a multi-storey building is old, the bill may be even higher.

 These devices should be inspected at least once a year. Regular cleaning of AC and refrigerator filters in the home can reduce power consumption.

If the quality of power lines is not good then power consumption can increase

 Use alternative methods

 When cooking or heating at home, you can only use the oven without using the entire microwave oven.

 Frozen foods can be de-frosted in water before being heated in a microwave oven.

 If you do not use the 'hot water setting' (hot water facility) in the washing machine, it will also reduce the electricity bill.

 Limit power consumption

 In terms of electricity usage, the charges per unit increase to a few units. You can adjust this section according to your local bill.

 You can see on your electricity bill which times the unit rate is higher and which times are lower. You can estimate the bill by looking at the readings on your electricity meter during the month or you can increase or decrease the electricity usage as required.

 But of course, if you use fewer units of electricity, your bill will be lower.

 Installing solar panels is also an investment

 Use of natural energy

 The most important way to save electricity is to use solar energy and solar panels are now also seen as an investment, meaning how much money can be spent once the house is converted to solar.

 Solar energy can be used during more or less load shedding of electricity. It is better to take advantage of sunlight than to burn indoor lights during the day and it can greatly reduce the individual use of electricity.

 Finally compare bills at the end of the month to find out how much you have saved each month compared to last year.
