Tips to Save as much as electricity as you can

 We all know Electricity as a means to save ourselves from the effect of heat during summer. With proper use of proper appliances, we may reduce our electricity bills by reducing demand of electricity. In the wider interest of consumers and for their general information, we suggests following measures, which will enable the consumers not only reduce their electricity bills, but to become partner with us towards control of electricity demand also.

Lighting & Fans

• As far as possible, use work oriented lighting while reading. Use reading lamps, which will give you focussed light and will not illuminate the room.
• Use energy efficient tubes or Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) which save you up to 70% electricity. As compared to ordinary Bulb, the CFL give you 8 times the illumination. One 15 Watt CFL illuminates equivalent to a 60 Watt Bulb.
• Use electronic Choke in place of an ordinary Choke.
• Remove the dust particles deposited on the Bulbs and Tube rods time to time. The dust particles reduce the intensity of light.
• As far as possible make use of Sunlight and use lighter shades of paints on the walls.
• Use Energy-Smart Fans in rooms where these are required to be run continuously. Use Electronic Regulators for fans.

Refrigerators

• The motors and compressors of the Refrigerators emit continuous heat; therefore, keep provision for continuous flow of air around. The distance between the Refrigerator and wall should be atleast 30 cms.
• Before opening the door of the Refrigerator, keep in mind the all the articles required to be taken out for use. This will enable you to keep its door open for a minimum period.
• Carry out the regular check for leakages in the Refrigerator and ensure that the Rubber seal of the Refrigerator is absolutely clean and tight. If a piece of paper is kept in between the seal and body of the Refrigerator and if it does not come out on pulling, then the seal is OK. If it comes out on pulling, change the seal immediately.
• Keep the thermostat of the Refrigerator on minimum setting. Always use Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) labeled Star Rated Refrigerators.

Air Conditioner (AC)

• As far as possible, make use of ceiling fan or table fan or cooler for protection from heat because with the use of fan, consumption of electricity is worth 30 paise per hour, with that of cooler it is worth Rs. 3.00 per hour whereas with the use of Air Conditioners it is worth Rs. 10.00 per hour.
• A high quality Air Conditioner cools your room just in 30 minutes. Please make use of the timer and keep the Air Conditioner off for some time.
• If the Air Conditioner has become too old and needs frequent repairs, it is better to purchase a new Air Conditioner. Always use Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) Star Rated labeled Air Conditioners.
