SAVE ON YOUR ELECTRICITY BILL

Added on: 6th Aug 2015

 

USE A LAPTOP MORE OFTEN THAN A

DESKTOP COMPUTER

Laptops consume considerably less amount of electricity compared to

desktop computers. Laptops consume around 15-42 watts, unlike

desktop computers that consume around 65-250 watts. You can do

just about the same tasks with your laptop without consuming

as much electricity.

 

 

CHOOSE AN LCD MONITOR OVER AN OLD CRT MONITOR

Unknown to most people, old CRT monitors consume double the amount

of electricity that an LCD monitor does. By replacing the monitor you

significantly curtail energy expenditure.

 

 

USE MICROWAVE OVEN AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE

Using a microwave oven is more efficient in reheating food as opposed

to using the stove. A microwave oven can draw less than half of the

power of other oven types as it heats and cooks for a much shorter time.

 

 

REARRANGE YOUR OVEN SHELF BEFORE TURNING IT ON

Refrain from opening your oven while it is on just to peek at your food inside.

Every time you open the door, 25 to 50 degrees F of heat are lost.

That means more electricity is required to produce heat inside the oven

and cook the food.

 

 

INSTALL SOLAR HOT WATER

By installing a heat pump or a solar hot water system you cut down on

your energy consumption to a considerable extent because you no

longer have to heat water through a heater every time you take a shower.

This helps you save significantly on your light bill.

 

 

REPLACE YOUR ANTIQUE REFRIGERATOR WITH A NEW ONE

A 12-year old refrigerator uses more electricity than a newer one. Most

refrigerators that are sold in appliance stores today comply with the

Improved Minimum Energy Performance Standards so they are more

energy-efficient. If you replace your old fridge with a new fridge, you can

save up to £100 a year on your bill.

 

 

CHOOSE FRONT LOADING WASHING MACHINES OVER

TOP LOADING WASHING MACHINES

Front loading washing machines may look more expensive compared

to top loading washing machines, but in the long run, they are more

efficient to use because they consume less energy. These washing

machines use around 60% less water and energy compared to top

loading washing machines.

 

 

HAVE YOUR AIR CONDITIONER CHECKED REGULARLY

Air conditioners are among the major electricity guzzlers of your house.

Make sure that the system runs at its highest efficiency through regular

cleanings and check-ups. When an air conditioning system does not work

well, it consumes higher amounts of electricity than normal.
