Top 10 Tips To Save Electricity At Home
6. Wash and iron in bulk
Instead of using the washing machine everyday to wash few clothes, you can wash clothes in bulk every alternate day or thrice a week. This way, you will save electricity. Also, washing clothes in cold water rather than hot water will help you to save electricity. Do the same for ironing all clothes. Iron everyone’s clothes for the week on Sunday, instead of burning the iron and electricity each day. This method also increases the life span of your electronic appliances.
7. Keep your refrigerator clean
If you clean your refrigerator once in a month, it will improve its efficiency. Though the main thing that you need to clean is the back of your refrigerator as that’s where all the dirt and dust can settle. If the refrigerator’s efficiency improves, you won’t need to turn it to the coldest setting, which actually uses up more energy.
8. Swap electric appliances for non-electric ones
Appliances such as electric razor and electric toothbrush consume much of your electricity. Also, it’s not as if your life won’t work without these appliances. You can simply switch to a normal razor and toothbrush which will give you the same results as their electric counterparts.
9. Use the vacuum cleaner few times
Another way of saving electricity is by reducing the times you use it. For instance, if you’re using the vacuum cleaner once a week, you can cut that to using it 1-2 times a month. Clean all your upholstery, furniture, floor carpets during this period.
10. Install motion sensors
Motion sensors are especially helpful if they are used for outdoor lighting. What motion sensors do is that when there is movement near them, they turn on the light and shut it off otherwise. However, you can even install them in your home as they will be helpful if you forget to turn off the lights at home.
