New Delhi:As soon as the summer season arrives, the use of AC increases and with this the electricity bill increases. But now you don’t have to worry! The Government of India has mentioned some such easy and effective methods, by adopting which you can reduce your electricity bill significantly despite running AC in summer. These tips are part of the Ministry of Energy and various government energy savings campaigns, which encourage citizens to adopt energy efficiency.
Smart tips to save electricity:
-
Temperature Setting: According to the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), the temperature of AC is most efficient to set the temperature of 24 degrees Celsius. The body’s average temperature is 37 ° C and running AC at 24 ° C does not cause unnecessary pressure on the body and reduces power consumption. Electricity consumption increases by 6% by reducing temperatures every one degree.
-
Choose the correct ‘star rating’ AC: When you buy a new AC, definitely see its ‘Star rating’. AC with more stars certified by BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) consumes low power. The 5-star AC 3-star takes much less electricity than AC.
-
Regular Servicing of AC: Get your AC regular servicing. Ensure cleaning of filters, coils and other parts. A dirty filter or filled coil reduces the cooling capacity of AC and forces it to spend more energy.
-
Close windows and doors: When the AC is going on, keep all the windows and doors closed. Due to this, the cold air does not get out of the room and AC has to work less.
-
Use curtains (Use Curtains/Blinds): Use heavy curtains or blinds to ensure that sunlight does not come inside the house. This keeps the room temperature naturally low and AC has to be reduced.
-
Keep the room airy (ventilate room): Open the windows for some time before running the AC and let the hot air of the room come out. With this, AC will have to work less in the beginning.
-
Use Timer (Use Timer Function): Use your AC timer function. For example, put a timer to turn off the AC shortly before going to bed at night. You will be able to sleep comfortably even when the temperature is normal at bedtime.
-
Consider installing solar panels (Consider Solar Panels): If possible, consider placing solar panels on the roof of the house. It can dramatically reduce your electricity bill in the long run and will take you one step forward in the direction of green energy.
-
Turn off unnecessary lights and equipment (switch off unnecessary lights and appliances): When there is no need, turn off lights, fans and other equipment. This normal but effective habit is also helpful in saving electricity.
By adopting these simple but effective tips, you can enjoy AC in summer as well as control your electricity bill. This is not only beneficial for your pocket, but is also an important step towards environmental protection.
