Save Electricity..and your money & environment
• This slide show needs no introduction, we have all heard how damaging it is on both our wallets and environment, if we waste power.
• It’s up to everyone to do their bit to save electricity, so here are some tips that will help…
…you make a difference.
Appliances
• Turn off appliances at the wallAppliances on standby still use electricity, and a lot
can be saved by switching them off.
E.g. The digital clock on a microwave uses more power to keep time than the energy used to heat food.
Your mobile phone charger uses power even if it’s plugged in the power point without a phone.
Air Conditioner
• Use fans instead of air conditioners if possible, they use a lot less power.
• Close all doors to rooms that don’t need to be cool. This way it doesn’t use so much energy to cool the house.
• Close curtains & windows to prevent the cool air leaving and hot air entering the house.
• Set the air conditioner to 23°C (73.4 F), which is the most energy efficient to cool the house.
Heater
• Similar principles apply to the air conditioner eg. Closing windows & curtains
• Wear warmer clothing• Add extra blankets to your bedding• Wear socks or slippers to prevent heat being
lost from your body
