More Ways to Save Electricity Efficiently
Air Conditioner
- If you’re buying a new unit, an inverter air conditioner is a great choice. It automatically adjusts its power usage, making it much more energy-efficient.
- Set a sensible temperature. A setting of 26°C (78.8°F) is an ideal balance between comfort and energy savings.
- Use the sleep mode at night to reduce power consumption while you sleep.
- Make sure to regularly clean your air conditioner’s filters and coils. This helps it run at its best and use less energy.
Refrigerator
- Let hot food cool down completely before you put it in the fridge. This prevents the fridge from having to work harder to cool it down.
- Organize the food inside so that air can circulate smoothly. This helps the fridge maintain a consistent temperature with less effort.
- In the summer, adjust the temperature to 4-5°C (39-41°F) to minimize power usage.
- Wash and dry vegetables before storing them. This helps reduce moisture and saves energy.
