How to reduce your electricity bill
If you have been bogged by the enormous
electricity bills you have been getting, it is time to take some
concrete steps. You can reduce your electricity bills by following very
simple steps.
This article will list some simple, easy-to-do things to reduce your
electricity bill.
Limited use: Start with the room you are sitting in. If you were to take
a call in another room or join your family at the dining table, would
you just step out of your room without any concern for the electrical
appliances in the room? If you would, stop right there, and look around.
Switch off all the appliances even if you would be back in five minutes.
Yes, even that will help. Every drop of water constitutes to the ocean.
Another thing to take care of here is what you perceive as an electronic
appliance. Would you switch off the television set, turn off the fan,
but not the light bulb? Yes, you need light, but not now when you are
leaving the room. Taking care of these small things will go a long way
in reducing the dreaded huge electricity bills.
Smart investments: Make some smart power investments by replacing your
incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent (CFL)
light bulbs. These
bulbs are a great power-saving investment.
Buy the Power Save gadget. The gadget helps monitor the power supply to
your house and uses the minimum that is needed.
Home appliance usage: Most of us complain that the electricity bill
touches the sky because of the number of electrical appliances they have
at home. However, the electricity bill is not directly proportional to
the number of gadgets you use but the way you use them. Let’s see how
you can avoid the typical power-wasters.
• Use the washing machine only when there is a full load of clothes.
• Keep the geyser on for the minimal amount of time.
• Keep the air-conditioner at the minimum low or high temperature, just
enough to keep you off the heat or the cold outside.
• Switch off the computer monitor even when you take a one-minute break.
It takes just a second to switch on the monitor again!
Yeah, you have to stick to this way of life for saving power at home and
for the world.
Remember, reducing your electricity bill is equivalent to saving power,
thus helping the world save power for its future generations.
