Power Saving Tips: By following some easy measures, you can reduce your electricity bill by 25 to 30 percent.
Power Saving Tips: The month of May is going on and the temperature of the day has started increasing now. The heat is expected to increase rapidly in the coming days. Increasing heat simply means that the use of more power-consuming appliances like fans, ACs and fridges will increase. Generally, the electricity bill increases by 2 to 3 times more in the summer season than in the cold. In summer, most people are worried about electricity bills. If you want to reduce this increased electricity bill a bit, then you can think of some remedies from now, which can reduce your electricity bill by 20 to 30 percent by adopting it.
Save electricity spent on AC in this way
In summer, electricity is the highest cost for running a home or office air conditioner. If it is managed properly then there can be good savings.
- Before running the AC, get it serviced and clean or replace the filter.
- If the house has 7 or 8 years old AC, then change it.
- Inverter based AC is an effective solution to save electricity bill.
- Use AC with BEE 5 star rating.
- Use the off timer. You can set it 1 hour before you wake up in the morning.
Can save 1500 rupees on AC: If you have installed 1.5 ton AC in the house and run it for 8 hours on an average then normal AC consumes more than 9 units of electricity. On the other hand, if there is an AC of 5 star rating, then it will consume about 7 units. That means saving 2 units of electricity every day. If you run 8 hours of AC every day for 4 months, then 240 units will be saved. If it is added at the rate of Rs 6.25 per unit, then 1500 rupees can be saved annually.
This is how you spend half the cost of lighting a light
Before the summer starts, replace the old bulbs and tube lights of the house with CFLs or LEDs. A 5 watt LED gives light equivalent to a 20 watt CFL. Similarly, the light of 18 watt CFL can be equal to 40 watt tubelight. That is, by these measures, the cost of lighting your lights can be halved.
Drive fan but with savings
Lights only burn at night, but in summer, fans have to run all day. This has a big impact on the electricity bill. A normal fan consumes 75 watts per hour. If an average fan runs for 8 hours a day, then the cost of a fan can be close to 1000 rupees annually.
- If used BEE-rated fan, then this cost will be between 700 and 750 rupees.
- If super efficient fan, then this expenditure will be close to 500 rupees.
If you keep the right refrigerator, you will save so much
About 15 percent of the total electricity consumption is consumed in the refrigerator alone. It stays on all the time in most homes. You can make your fridge a power efficient.
First of all, its placement should be correct and place a 2 inch gap between the wall and the fridge. Due to air circulation, it requires some less power for the function.
If you are thinking of changing the fridge, then take a BEE-rated refrigerator.
Annual Savings: The old 260 liter refrigerator can consume around 3.5 units of electricity every day, while a refrigerator with the same size BEE 5 star rating will consume 2 units of electricity daily. That is, 540 units of electricity can be reduced every year by changing the refrigerator. That means you can save 3000 rupees annually.
Laptop instead of desktop
Use laptop instead of desktop at home. The annual expenditure of the desktop can come to around 4000 rupees if run normally. While this expenditure on laptops will be around 1200 to 1500 rupees. In this way you can save 2500 rupees annually.
Electricity can be saved if the cooler is correct
Buy a good company cooler based on inverter technology. This will consume 50 per cent less electricity than the coolers found in the market. Where a normal 200 W motor cooler is run for 12 hours every day, then it consumes about 100 units of electricity in a month. But if instead of using cooler modern technology, the monthly consumption will be around 60 units.
