Reduce your electricity bill by 40% with these 7 simple tips.

Reduce your electricity bill : When the summer heat rises, we all turn to air conditioners and freezers for relief.  operating them for extended periods of time will increase your electricity bill and put a pressure on your monthly budget.  

Good news is that with a few simple ways, you may cut your expense by up to 40% while maintaining comfort.  some detials are given below .

 1. Place Your AC and Fridge in the Proper Location

Keep your air conditioner and refrigerator in a cool environment, away from direct sunshine, heaters, and other heat sources.  This keeps them from overheating and lets them work more efficiently. 

Also, adjust them to the appropriate temperature for example, your fridge should be between 4-5°C and your air conditioner between 20-24°C.  Correct settings extend their life and save electricity.

 2. Ensure proper ventilation.

Both your refrigerator and air conditioner require space to “breathe.”  Keep the space beneath your refrigerator free so that air can circulate. 

Poor ventilation causes them to work harder, using more power.  Remember that every additional degree you reduce the temperature increases electricity consumption.

 3. Maintain them regularly.

Remove ice from your freezer at least once a year.  A thick covering of ice causes the fridge to need more power. 

Clean your refrigerator and air conditioner on a regular basis to prevent dust from clogging the systems. 

Well-maintained appliances not only use less electricity but also last longer.

 4. Check the door seals.

 If your refrigerator door isn’t closing properly, have the seal repaired or replaced. 

Poor sealing allows cold air to leak, causing the fridge to work harder and use more electricity.

 5. Turn them off when not in use.

To avoid odors, empty your fridge, unplug it, and leave the door slightly open when you leave for vacation. 

Turn off the air conditioners after the room is sufficiently cool; the room will remain cold without further power.

 6. Open the door less often.

When you open the fridge, cold air escapes, making it work harder to cool down again.  Plan ahead of time so that you can get everything out at once. 

Allow hot food to cool before placing it in the fridge; this decreases the energy required to maintain the temperature.

 7. Avoid overloading the refrigerator.

Avoid overstocking your fridge.  For food to stay fresh and the cooling system to function properly, there must be room for air to flow within. 

If your refrigerator is too empty, you can fill in the holes using polystyrene blocks to help preserve the cold air. 

These easy actions will help you extend the life of your air conditioner and refrigerator while also lowering your electricity bills throughout the hot summer months.
