Posted on: 19/Apr/2014 4:36:57 PM

With the scorching summer, it is normal to expect that the fans will be running at full speed all the time. In these days of power shortage, electricity should be treated like God or gold! Otherwise, the bill for electricity will shoot up!! 

Switch off - Do not keep the lights of all rooms in the house ‘on’. only when you enter the room the light needs to be switched on. Similarly, when moving out of the room, remember to switch off all lights and fans. 

Remove from the plug - remove the connection of appliances like mixie, grinder, refrigerator, iron box and washing machine from the plug. 

Remove all the old model bulbsbs which give yellow light. Replace them with electricity saving lights. Keep the rooms well lighted naturally in the daytime so that lights need not be switched on. 

Refrigerators are used maximum during summer. However, remember that excess energy will be consumed whenever the fridge is opened. So don’t keep the fridge frequently opening & closing. 

Air-conditioners are also used much during the summer. Use dense air-curtains in the room fitted with a/c so that sunlight does not enter. Remove unwanted things kept in the a/c room. 

All glass windows must be properly closed. Any holes in the windows or doors must be plugged or repaired. Once the room becomes cool, use either the fan in the a/c or the fan in the room. 

If the a/c is old, remember to get it serviced. It is better to use an a/c with 5 star rating. This will save electricity. 

All these small steps will be really useful in saving electricity not only for the house, but for the sate & the country! It will also save money!
