Electricity bills are never welcome at any home simply because of the idea of expenditure associated to them. However, what if we told you that there were simple ways that could be comfortably incorporated into your daily routine and are actually capable of helping you save a lot of money? Sounds hard to believe, doesn't it? But, this is entirely true. Additionally, the idea of reducing electricity consumption need not always mean that you have to compromise on your needs. Sometimes just a little bit of planning can do the job!
Here are a few simple tips to help you bring down the overall electricity consumption:
Keep your appliances in good shape
From the mixer grinder to the ceiling fan, it is important to maintain your instruments if you expect them to serve you in a power efficient manner. Yes! Even the dust accumulating on the appliances for a long time can actually hinder their operation and therefore force them to consume more power.
Switch off!
When it's dark, everyone remembers to switch on the light but a lot of us coolly forget to turn off the lights when you leave the place. Make it a habit and teach the other members in your family to adapt to it as well. This will bring down your overall electricity consumptions to quite an extent.
Shift to LED's
LED's are the new trend because they are engineered to give you better lighting at a relatively lower consumption of power. Of course, the initial investment in LED's is higher than the regular lighting but when you look at the long term returns, it turns out to be a better option.
Smart lighting solutions
For those who can afford it, shifting to smart lighting solutions is a good idea. Apart from the convenience that it adds to your lifestyle, these solutions also give you the ability to control the lighting from your smartphone irrespective of your location.
Optimize the use
This is a simple rule wherein members need to ensure that the use of the appliance is optimized. For example when you are doing the laundry, don't operate the machine before its actual capacity. Even keeping the air conditioner clean or sealing the vents to prevent the cool air from escaping helps to reduce the wastage to quite an extent. You can also promote better air flow in the house in order to minimize the need of air conditioner.
