Reduce your electricity bill with simple steps!<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
\n

During the summer months, use a fan rather than
\nair-conditioning to consume a great deal less electricity.
\nAir-conditioning units consume large amounts of
\nelectricity, especially during peak hours, resulting in
\nmuch higher bills.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
\n

Have units serviced regularly, as this can save up to 30%
\nof your electricity consumption. In the summer set the
\nair-condition temperature to 26\u00b0C, for every degree
\nbelow this, you will use 7% more electricity. In the winter
\nset the temperature to 22-23\u00b0C, for every degree above
\nthis, you will use 7% more electricity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
\n

Make sure that doors, windows, walls and ceilings are
\nproperly insulated. This can save up to 40% of the
\nelectricity you would otherwise consume.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
\n

By having air-conditioning\/heating units serviced
\nregularly, you can reduce electricity consumption by up
\nto 30% and, by extension, reduce your bills.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
\n

Choose solar water heaters, which do not use electricity,
\nfor your hot water.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
\n

Don\u2019t leave the water heater\/boiler on. For your own
\nconvenience and to reduce your electricity bills, put a
\nreminder on your mobile phone or use a timer on the
\nheater.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
\n

Keep the refrigerator away from places that are
\nexposed to the sun and away from appliances that
\nproduce heat, since this can increase its electricity
\nconsumption by as much as 30%. Defrost it frequently
\nand always keep the fridge door closed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
\n

Replace conventional light bulbs with LED bulbs,
\nwhich reduce electricity consumption by up to 70%
\nand last 10 times longer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
\n

When cooking, use a pressure cooker which not only
\nsaves electricity by 30%-60% but saves time too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
\n

Washing clothes and dishes is an integral part of the
\ndaily routine. To reduce electricity and water
\nconsumption, fill the washing machine\/dishwasher
\nbefore every use and set the lowest possible
\ntemperature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
\n

An electric iron uses the same amount of electricity as
\n10 100-watt lightbulbs. By ironing synthetic fabrics on
\na low setting and by folding large items before ironing,
\nyou can achieve considerable savings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
\n

Unplug small devices such as phone chargers when
\nyou are not using them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
\n

Switch off devices, such as the TV, rather than leaving
\nthem in standby mode, because they continue to
\nconsume electricity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
