Electricity bill tension is over! AC, cooler, fan run day and night, still come less bill-adopt these smart tricks

As soon as the summer season knocks, the hot rays of the sun start scorching us. In such a situation, air conditioner (AC), coolers and fans become our biggest need. There is no passage without running them day and night, but it comes with a big headache-heavy electricity bill! This bill can be so heavy on your pocket that the relief from the heat also starts to fade.

But what if you are told that by adopting some smart methods and small habits, you can use your AC, cooler and fan openly and yet the electricity bill will be very low? Yes, this is absolutely possible! Come, let’s know some such effective tips and tricks, with the help of which you will also get relief from the heat and take care of your pocket.

1. Smart Use of Air Conditioner (AC):

AC is the most effective way to keep the house cool, but it also draws the most power. The bill can be controlled by running it in a smart way:

• Set the temperature to 24-26 degrees: This is the most important tip! Reduction of temperature every one degree can increase power consumption by 6%. The temperature of 24-26 ° C is comfortable for the human body and it does not cause unnecessary pressure on the compressor.

• Regular servicing and filter cleaning: Dirty filters increase pressure on AC and force it to draw more power. Clean the filter every month and get professional servicing done at least once a year.

• Investment in Inverter AC: If taking a new AC, buy inverter AC. They consume less power than 30-50% less power than normal ACs because their compressor is not continuously on-off, but controls the speed as required.

• Use timing function: Use sleep mode or timer in AC. When you fall asleep at night, set it after some time when it is closed. After midnight, the temperature starts falling anyway.

• Keep the room sealed: Close the doors and windows of the room properly while running AC. Use curtains, especially on sunny windows, so that the summer does not enter the room.

2. Effective use of coolers:

The cooler consumes very little electricity from AC, but it is also important to use it correctly:

• adequate ventilation: The best coolness from the cooler is found when the air in the room remains. Place the cooler near the window and leave any other window open in front of it or in front of it so that hot air can come out and fresh air comes.

• Regular cleaning of pads/changes: The air flow reduces the flow of cooler pads (grass/honeycomb) or freezing salt in them. Clean them regularly and change them from time to time.

• Maintain water level: Make sure that the water level in the cooler is sufficient. The pump has to work more due to less water and the air is also less moisture.

• Use of only fan at night: When the weather is not too hot or coolness starts increasing at night, then just run a fan in the cooler, turn off the water pump.

3. The wise use of the fan:

Fans eat the lowest electricity, but they should also be used correct:

• Close if not needed: Close the fans when not in the room.

• Keep the blade clean: Dirty blades reduce the functionality of the fan and slow down the air flow. Clean them regularly.

• Fan at the right height: The roof fan is at the right height so that the air spread is better.

• Consider the BLDC fan: Nowadays, fans with BLDC (brushless DC motor) technology have come in the market, which consume much less power (about 50–70% less) than normal wings.

4. Other common and smart tips that save electricity:

• Use of LED lights: Use LED lights instead of old bulbs or CFL. They eat very little electricity and last long.

• Plug down: When equipment like TV, charger, computers are not used, remove their plugs. They keep pulling ‘Phantom Load’, which ruins electricity.

• Electric wires and switch: Make sure the wiring of the house is correct and there is no leakage or old switch board, as it also causes loss of electricity.

• Pay attention to the rating of equipment: Whenever you buy a new device, see its ‘Star Rating’. The more star rating, the less power consumption will be.

• Reduce the congestion in the room: More furniture or unnecessary items prevent air flow in the room and AC/cooler has to work more hard.

• Increase ventilation: Cross-ventilation in the house during the day, and when the weather cools at night, turn off the AC and open the windows.
