Simple, easy and useful energy saving tips

When you replace old incandescent bulbs with new LED bulbs, you get better performance and up to 90% less energy consumption. Furthermore, energy-saving bulbs can last up to ten times longer than standard bulbs.

By avoiding setting the air conditioner at a low temperature and allowing it to warm up before lowering the temperature, the room will cool down just as quickly, while saving energy.

One simple way to reduce energy consumption at home is to never leave your electronic devices in standby mode. Even when turned off, many devices, such as televisions, continue to consume a small amount of power. According to the International Energy Agency, leaving electrical appliances in standby mode wastes electricity equivalent to 5% – 15% of total household consumption.

Connect the washing machine to the solar water heater. That way, you save energy by using the already hot water from the solar water heater.

If you live in a mild climate, installing a high energy-efficient heat pump reduces your electricity consumption when compared to using electricity to heat your home.
