Free tips to save electricity

We like to follow up yesterdays post about the electricity cost calculator by giving some free tips which might save you on your electricty consumption

• Reduce the temperature of your geyser to around 55 degrees so that you don’t have to mix too much cold water when you shower or do the dishes.
• Install a watersaving shower head which not only will reduce your waterbill but also your electricity due to less use of hot water
• When cooking keep the lids of the pots closed this will conserve heat and will save energy
• Close the door everytime you take something out of the fridge and defrost frozen foods by taking it out early enough instead of using the microwave to defrost (so plan in the morning what you are going to eat)
• Close windows/curtains and doors when you have your heater on to avoid warm air escaping
• If you are going to make one cup of coffee boil only water for one cup. You’ll be amazed how much electricty that will save over time
• Insulate your geyser by wrapping newspapers, old blankets or other insulating materials around it and the hot water pipes.
• When you leave a room switch of the lights and appliances not in use. Also consider replacing your light bulbs with cfl or led lights which have a much lower power consumption
• Turn off all stand-by modes of appliances like tv,dvd players every time you leave the house and before going to bed.
