A less than efficient electrical device consumes more electricity. A well performing appliance uses minimal energy, and saving energy is saving money.

Tips to save:

1. Maintain all your electric devices in good condition and also keep them clean. This not just enhances their performance but also reduces energy consumption.

2. Get your appliances checked periodically by a technician. By this way you can prevent breakdowns and repairs. Also it enhances safety levels.

3. Set your air conditioning temperature at lesser degrees. Avoid changing the temperature frequently. This reduces the power usage of your air conditioner to a great deal.

4. Avoid using any home appliance beyond a certain number years. Any device when used for more than 10 years losses its capacity to give maximum performance and it consumes more electricity.

5. If there is a power failure while you are running an appliance, turn it off immediately and once the power returns don’t turn it on immediately. Wait for sometime to protect your appliance from power fluctuation affects.

6. Don’t cram your refrigerator with too many plastic containers and bottles. This results in over usage of its condenser. Try not to keep its door open for longer periods. These are some effective energy-saving tips regarding your refrigerator.

7. Check whether the appliance you are buying is marked with an “energy saving” symbol. Such equipments are specially devised to consume less energy.

8. Replace your normal lights with energy saving lights. They consume less electricity and have 12 times more life than usual lights.

9. Adopt all possible energy-saving facilities like energy-saving windows and energy-saving equipments. For example, a double-glazed window is more beneficial than a normal one.

10. Make use of insulators in order to avoid mixing of cool or warm air within the house with that of the outdoors.

Most importantly you must be conscious about the fact that saving energy means saving money.
