Saving Electricity and Cutting down Your Energy Bill



  • The lights and television use electrical energy, so when you leave the room, shut them off.
  • During the day when it is brighter outside, open the curtains and use the sunlight instead of turning on the lights.
  • Don't leave windows or doors open when the air conditioning is on. This makes the AC have to work harder to cool a room.
  • When you have a sunny day, help hang the Clothes outside instead of using the dryer. 
  • Turn off the lights when not in use.
  • Take advantage of daylight by using light-colored, loose-weave curtains on your windows to allow daylight to penetrate the room. Also, decorate with lighter colors that reflect daylight.
  • De-dust lighting fixtures to maintain illumination.
  • Compact Fluorescent Bulbs (CFL) are four times more energy efficient than incandescent bulbs and provide the same for lighting.
  • Use electronic chokes in place of conventional copper chokes.
  • Slim tube lights give better light and consume less electricity than the filament lamps.
  • Replace conventional regulators with electronic regulators for ceiling fans.
  • Install exhaust fans at a higher elevation than ceiling fans.
  • Select iron boxes with automatic temperature cutoff.
  • Use appropriate regulator position for ironing.
  • Do not put more water on clothes while ironing.
  • Do not iron wet clothes.
