Tips to reduce your monthly electricity bill
By making small changes to your daily habits, you and your family can save electricity and lower your monthly electricity bill
Replace with high-efficiency lighting bulbs
Using fluorescent incandescent bulbs is one of the electricity-saving methods you shouldn’t overlook. These bulbs have the advantage of consuming less power, only about 1/5 to 1/3 compared to regular bulbs.
In particular, fluorescent incandescent bulbs also have a superior lifespan, lasting 15 times longer than regular bulbs. This allows you to save more on purchasing electrical devices.
Unplug electrical devices when not in use to save electricity
Electronic devices like laptops, phone chargers, etc., even when not in use, still consume a certain amount of power. Therefore, to save on electricity costs, make sure to unplug all unused devices in your home.
Clean your electrical devices
Regularly cleaning your electrical devices will help them operate more efficiently and save more energy, while also receiving better lighting. Clean the core of your rice cooker and the heating element of your stove to improve heating efficiency, clean fans to prevent the motor from overheating and consuming more energy...
Additionally, regularly cleaning and maintaining your air conditioner is another way to save electricity when using it. Air conditioners are one of the highest energy-consuming devices in the home. Therefore, if you don't know how to save electricity with your air conditioner, your electricity bill will rise significantly during the hot summer months.
Use products with Inverter technology
Inverter technology is quite familiar to customers in the Vietnamese market. It is a modern technology that helps household appliances operate more efficiently, while saving much more energy.
Previously, household appliances were mostly not equipped with Inverter technology. As a result, they wasted a lot of electricity and consumed large amounts of energy.
To address this issue, many manufacturers now produce high-power devices such as air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, etc., equipped with Inverter technology. Using these devices is an effective way to save electricity with your air conditioner and reduce overall household electricity costs.
Invest in energy-efficient smart devices
Older devices tend to cost more to operate, so when an appliance reaches its average lifespan, you should upgrade to an energy-efficient one. The initial cost may be higher, but you’ll save a significant amount over time.
Utilize natural light and wind
Utilizing natural light combined with the electricity-saving methods mentioned above will help you achieve maximum results.
When at home, open all windows to let sunlight in. This not only helps you save on electricity consumption for the entire lighting system but also brightens up your home.
Using natural sunlight instead of light bulbs and natural wind instead of fans or air conditioners is an electricity-saving method that you should apply today.
