How to save power at home

All we know about the renewable and non-renewable sources of energy from school. However, we never paid much attention to the rapid consumption of the non-renewable sources of energy until recently. The world is faced with severe energy crisis now and none of us remain unaffected anymore. Should we leave everything to the governments, or can we do something to save power? The answer is simple: YES, we can!


7 Tips that will help you to save up to 50% of electricity that you are using now and save your money!

Switch off your computer when you are not using it: More often than not, we do not switch off our monitors even after we have shut down our computers. Keep the monitor and the computer switched off when you are not using them. Start practicing this even when at work. You will help save some more power for the world.

Start using the CFL light bulbs: You must have seen compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs being advertised all the time. You must have even used them at times. As a power-saving measure, start using the CFL light bulbs as much as you can. If you are thinking they are more expensive than the regular bulbs, the benefits of the CFL bulbs will prove much more cost-effective in the long turn by the amount of power they will save.

Set your air conditioner at the right temperature: Set the temperature at the minimum or maximum best you are comfortable with, depending on the season. Try not to set it at too high or too low temperatures. Setting the air conditioner at reasonable temperatures helps save a lot of energy.

Always wait till you have a full load before using your washing machine: Do you use your washing machine as often as you want? Do you use your washing machine even when there are not enough clothes to wash? Minimize the number of washes by washing full load of clothes every time.

Switch off your television: Take off the power plug of your television set when not using it. This may not sound a big deal but this tiny step will help save power.

Reduce the temperature of your geyser's thermostat: Keep the geyser thermostat at the minimum heat. You do not need to heat the water at a very high temperature or for too long.

Car: For an air-conditioner equipped car, pull up the windows of your car before switching on the air-conditioner.
