Eco Friendly HomeUntil now, not much attention has been paid to the rapid consumption of non-renewable sources of energy. The world is faced with a severe energy crisis, and we are all affected!. We cannot leave it up to the governments of the world to save electricty, we need to do something as individuals as well.

Let us look at how you can save power at home.

Computer:

More often than not, one does not switch off one’s monitors even after the computer has been switched off. 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.

Light bulbs:

Use compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs as a power-saving measure. They can be more expensive than the regular bulbs, however, the benefits of the CFL bulbs will prove much more cost-effective in the long turn by the amount of power they will save. They also last longer than the traditional light bulbs.

Air Conditioner:

Set the temperature to the optimal setting you are comfortable with. Using it at a too higher/lower temprature increases the power required. Setting the air conditioner at reasonable temperatures helps save a lot of energy.

Washing Machines:

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.

Television:

Remove 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.

Geysers:

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.Swith off your geyser during the day, and on early evening. Attach a timer to your geyser, so as to regulate this process.

Refrigerator:

Bring hot food to room temperatures before putting it into the refrigerator. You can also save power by taking cold or frozen food out of the refrigerator long before the mealtime, thereby saving power in heating it.

Car:

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