how to reduce your electricity bill by over 50%

New Delhi: Priya Singh lives in 3BHK apartment with her husband and two young children.
Two air.
She has air conditioning, refrigerator, TV and other electrical appliances in her home.
The family paid about Rs 2,000 in the winter for electricity, up to Rs 5,000 in the summer, and even higher for some.
However, there are ways to reduce the electricity bill by more than 50%.
This is what you need to do this summer!
With solar energy of about 300 days per year, India is one of the best countries in the world to use solar energy.
So we can\'t ignore this huge energy source.
Solar panels are an efficient way to generate electricity from clean and renewable sources.
They can be installed on your roof and produce-
In the long run, the cost of time can be very low considering the electricity bill you will save.
Experts believe that the 1kWp solar roof plant can produce more than 4 on average.
6 degrees per day (
Consider an average of 5.
5 sunshine hours a day).
\"The cost of installing solar panels is about Rs 50,000 per kilowatt.
According to your roof right at a high
You can choose a product from a listed government supplier.
At present, the biggest bottleneck is the roof space on the upper floor. rise buildings.
It is impossible to install solar panels without space, especially in Delhi, which is a bottleneck --NCR.
The government subsidizes the installation of solar panels, and the cost of individuals is almost half, \"said PP Singh, a project official at Gautam Bud Nagar (ADDL Charge)
Uttar Pradesh, Bureau of new and renewable energy development.
Use of low lighting
LED lighting and most energy efficient consumption
The efficient change of electrical appliances such as refrigerators and air conditioners has a great impact on your electricity bill.
\"Most of the new buildings of well-known developers are designed to take advantage of solar and rainwater harvesting.
These designs include accommodating enough natural sunlight and ventilation to reduce the need for lighting and cooling equipment.
These factors need to be incorporated in the design phase itself, and often cannot be introduced retroactively into buildings that do not have the relevant regulations, \"explains Anuj Puri, chairman of ANAROCK Property Consultants.
Tips for saving electricity: turn off the lights when you don\'t need them.
Consider using infrared sensors, motion sensors, automatic timers, dimmers and solar cells where applicable to turn on/off the lighting circuit.
Use task lighting.
For example, the reading light only lights up the reading material, not the whole room.
Regularly dust your tube lights and lights.
Dirty tube lights and bulbs reflect less light and can absorb half of the light.
The efficiency of fluorescent lamps and CFLs is five times that of ordinary bulbs, thus saving about 70% of power.
The air conditioner uses a ceiling or table fan during the summer heat.
For example, ceiling fans run about 30 paise per hour-
Much less than air conditioning (Rs 10 per hour).
Set the room air conditioner at 25 °c to reduce the electricity bill.
You can reduce the air.
Adjust energy consumption up to 40 cents by shading your windows and walls.
Fans allow air to flow to cool the room.
Plant trees and shrubs to keep the sun heat in your home.
Door to keep air-
Clean and tidy air-conditioned rooms-
Air conditioning filters are available every month.
Dirty air filters reduce airflow and may damage the equipment.
Buy new energy-
Replace the efficient air conditioner of the old air conditioner.
The fridge is kept away from all heat sources including direct sunlight, oven and stove top.
Allow enough space for continuous airflow around the refrigerator.
Think about what you need before opening the refrigerator door.
You will reduce the time the door stays open.
Let the hot and warm food cool and cover well before putting in the fridge.
Make sure the rubber door of the refrigerator is sealed clean and tight.
Regularly clean the coils to ensure that the air can be periodically cycled in the unfreezing freezer room for manual unfreezing of the refrigerator microwave oven and electric kettle microwave oven, saving energy by reducing cooking time.
In fact, you can save up to 50 cooking energy costs by using a microwave instead of a regular oven, especially for a small amount of food.
If you are cooking more than one type of food, place a bigger and thicker one outside.
Use an electric kettle to heat the water as it is more energy efficient.
Combine boiled water with vinegar and clean the electric kettle regularly to remove mineral deposits.
Don\'t fill the kettle with a drink.
Only heat the amount of water you need.
Turn off the computer/TV when not in use.
Set up computers, monitors and copiers during sleep-
Because this helps reduce energy costs by about, adopt this model when not in use.
Unplug and save battery chargers for laptops, mobile phones and digital cameras because they consume power as long as they are plugged in, and are very inefficient.
