A high electricity bill is making you worried. You want to reduce your electricity bill at home. To lower this bill, you need to follow a few simple steps. Today, we will tell you what those steps are. If your monthly electricity bill is ₹4000, it can be stressful. But to bring it down to ₹400, you first need to know which five electrical appliances in your home use the most electricity.
Which Appliances are Big Energy Users?
AC is typically the largest contributor to electricity consumption in your house. If you use the AC at the same time for over 8 to 10 hours per day, it can lead to a 40% increase in electricity cost in one month. The geyser is another appliance that consumes large amounts of a household’s electricity. Using an old refrigerator at the same time it is always on will also increase electricity usage, if the refrigerator is plugged in instead of always, it doesn’t produce as much of a spike in the electric bill.
Another consideration regarding refrigerators is whether it is rated high or low stars. A low star rating refrigerator can increase the electricity bill by 10-15% in one month. It is also recommended to keep the refrigerator slightly off the wall, and to avoid opening and closing the refrigerator again and again, which also uses a lot of electricity. Washing machines are also large consumers of electricity when used for heavy use. The settings “normal” and “eco” are also options to save electricity when washing clothes.
Ways to Bring a ₹4000 electricity bill down to ₹400.
The most straightforward way to save money on electricity is to switch to LED lights. They are bright, and use far less power. You could also use sunshine to generate electricity. In India, we have sunshine nearly 300 days a year, which makes sun power a very attractive idea. Once solar panels are on your roof, they will save you a ton of money over time.
Solar panels may seem pricey at first, but it is a one-time investment. The electricity bill savings will be way higher than the cost to install solar panels in no time at all!
