To Save Electrical Energy
- Plug off incandescent bulbs and replace them by either LED bulbs or CFL bulbs.
- Use washing machine dryer less often and use natural ways of hanging your clothes after a wash. Use cold/normal water for washing machines as it uses less power.
- Switch off your refrigerators if nothing is being kept in it.
- Switch off your television, CD/DVD player not just in stand by mode. It uses power which you are paying for.
- Do not keep plugged any unwanted devices all the time? Just remove them from plugs. Tools like mobile chargers, battery chargers remove it from plugs when not charging.
- Do not overcharge your devices. Your mobiles/battery charging requires maximum of 2-3 hours. Do not keep them charged for the whole night.
- Switch off computers and not in standby mode.
