Electricity Bill: The month of April has started and the temperature of the day has now started to grow. In many areas of the country, day temperature is reaching between 35 and 39 degrees. In the coming days, due to El Nino, the heat is expected to grow rapidly. Growing heat means that the use of more power consuming appliances such as fan, AC and fridge will increase. Generally, electricity bills increase by 2 to 3 times in the summer season compared to cold. Most people worry about electricity bills in the summer. If you want to reduce this energized electricity bill, you can think of some measures right now, which can reduce your electricity bill by 20 to 30 percent.
Electricity Bill on AC
Electricity costs are highest in running in the summer or office air conditioner. Good savings can be done if it is managed correctly.
Make sure to servicing her before running AC and clean or replace the filter.
# If the house is 7 or 8 years old then change it.
# Inverters based AC power is an effective way to save the bill.
Use AC with #BEE 5 star rating.
Use # off timer It can set the time of 1 hour before rising in the morning.
You can save on AC 1500: If you have installed a 1.5 tonne AC in the house and run it on an average of 8 hours everyday, Normal AC consumes more than 9 units of electricity. If there is an AC of 5 star ratings then it will consume approximately 7 units. I.e. daily 2 units of electricity saving If you run 8 hours a day for 4 months, 240 units will be saved. If it is added according to the price of 6.25 per unit, then the annual savings of 1500 rupees can be saved.
Light burning costs will be half
Before the heat starts, replace the house’s old bulb and tube light with CFL or LED. The 5-watt LED gives light equal to 20 watt CFL. Similarly, the illumination of CFL of 18 watt can be equal to 40W of tube light. This means that the cost of lighting your lights can be half by these measures.
Light burns in the night only, but the fan has to run the entire day in summer. This has a big impact on the electricity bill. A normal fan consumes 75 watts per hour. If the fan runs on an average 8 hours a day, then a fan’s expenditure may be close to Rs.1000 a year.
If the BEE-rated fan is used, then the cost will be between 700 to 750 rupees.
If it is a Super Efficient fan, then this expenditure will be close to 500 rupees.
Select the right fridge, so will be saving
# About 15 percent of total electricity consumption is consumed in the fridge alone. It remains mostly in homes at all times. You can make your refrigerator a power ambient.
First of all, its placement must be correct and keep a gap of 2 inches between the wall and the fridge. Due to air circulation it requires fewer power to function.
If you are thinking of changing the fridge then take the BEE-rated fridge.
Annual Savings: The old 260 liter refrigerator can consume about 3.5 units per day, while the same size will be consumed by 2 units per day on the BEE 5 star rating fridge. That means the 540 unit power consumption can be reduced every year by changing the fridge. That means saving 3000 rupees annually.
Desktop instead of Laptops
Use laptops instead of desktops in the home. Running normally, the desktop’s annual expenditure can come to around Rs 4000. While this expenditure on laptops is close to 1200 to 1500 rupees. This way you can save 2500 rupees annually.
Buy cool company cooler based on inverter technology It will consume less than 50 percent of the power consumption compared to the usual coolers in the market. Where the common 200-watt cooler is operated 12 hours a day, about 100 units of electricity are consumed throughout the month. But if it is replaced by a modern technology cooler, then monthly consumption will be around 60 units.
