8 Simple & Easy Methods To Reduce Electricity Bills
Unsurprisingly, the price of electricity has skyrocketed recently across the country. Even with fewer units now being used, the electricity bill is skyrocketing.
Since electricity prices aren’t anticipated to decrease significantly any time soon, this trend will likely continue soon. The cost of electricity is higher in the summer than in the winter, thus the bill will be higher.

Since there are currently numerous slabs to pay for power instead of just one, the price per unit will rise as the number of units rises. The good news is that you can lower your electricity price by taking a few easy actions.
1. Switch to Energy-Efficient Appliances
In general, older appliances use more electricity than their more recent, energy-saving equivalents. Choose household appliances with ENERGY STAR® certification when it’s time to replace them, such as a refrigerator, washing machine, or air conditioner. These appliances can help you save a lot of money over time because they are made to use less energy.
2. Use LED Bulbs
Start utilizing LED lights at home right now if you haven’t already. Experts claim that LED bulbs use 75% less energy than traditional lights while also lasting 25 times longer. Over time, this translates into significant electricity cost savings.
3. Unplug Devices and Chargers
Even when they are not in use, many electronic gadgets including computers, phone chargers, and game consoles continue to use power. This phenomenon, also referred to as “phantom” or “standby” power, adds to needless energy use. To stop this standby power drain, make it a practice to unplug these gadgets or utilize a power strip that can be turned off when not in use.

4. Avoid Using Fans Unnecessarily
The majority of the time, bulbs or lights are used in the evening, but fans are used continuously and have a significant impact on electricity costs. Depending on the fan model and age, a fan requires 75 watts of electricity on average every hour.
Instead of running whole-house fans to increase the electricity cost, attempt to spend the most of the day in one room. The electricity bill will be significantly decreased in this method.
5. Practice Smart Energy Consumption Habits
Encourage employees and household members to practice energy conservation in the workplace. Electricity expenditures can be significantly decreased by adopting simple habits like turning off lights when leaving a room, avoiding overcharging electronics, and using energy-efficient settings on electronic equipment.
6. Keep The Temperature of The Air Conditioner (AC) High.
According to research data, 6% of electricity is saved for every degree higher AC temperature.
If you reside in a city where the daily average temperature ranges from 34 to 38 degrees Celsius, turning down the AC by even 10 degrees Celsius will keep the room or house cool.
Every degree centigrade rise in AC temperature, as stated above, reduces energy use by 6%, thus setting the thermostat to 24 degrees instead of 18 will help cut the electricity cost by 36% as the house cools effectively.
7. Place the Refrigerator in the Correct Position
A refrigerator is an electrical appliance that runs continually and it consumes a lot of electricity.
To conserve electricity, it is crucial to keep the refrigerator in a location where air circulation is maintained around it. For this, position the refrigerator out of the path of direct sunlight and at least 2 inches away from the wall.
Overfilling refrigerators and freezers not only compromises the inner boxes’ structural integrity and raises the possibility of various sections failing, but it also makes the appliance work harder and consumes more electricity.
8. Avoid using High-power Devices During Peak Hours
Electricity prices are highest nationwide between the hours of 5 and 11 p.m. during this time.
The peak time in Lahore varies depending on the season; from June to August, it is from 7 to 11 p.m., and from September to November, it is from 6 to 10 p.m.
Try to avoid using your air conditioner, washing machine, or other electrical appliances between the hours of 6 pm and 10 or 11 pm to lower your electricity bill.
