This is in continuation to my earlier suggestions on savings.
Air conditioners are a common device
nowdays in our homes and we all know that they are heavy power consumers.So we need to take care that we dont pay out excess on their use.
Regular cleaning of the filters reduces the load on the compressor thereby reducing the power consumption. Secondly, we need to
plug in all leakages in the rooms where air conditioners are installed so that the
thermostat swtiches off the compressor early thus resulting in lower power bill.
If you thought
water is free correct yourself. You are consuming power to get the water to your water tank. So when you actually let the water overflow you are wasting power. Installation of
water level controller would see that the pump is swithced off when the desired water level is achived.
Installation of
miniature circuit breakers of suitable capacity covering particular areas would be very helpful in knowing if the load in that particular section has
increased. In such a case the mcb would trip and regular
tripping would mean that the load has increased the reasons of which can be studied for corrective action.
Refrigerators a common item in every household.
Set the thermostat just keeping in mind the external enviournment. Like in winters one need on keep the thermostat onthe heigher side.
Save on your
fuel expenses too. When you need to heat products which are in the refrigrator keep them out for some time so that they reach the room temprature before putting it on the burner. Also take care that the flames do not move out of the base of the vessel. Studies have shown that 80% of the heat goes waste in this case.
Finally i would say that plan your expenses.
Maintain a dairy to see the way in which you are spending money. This helps. I personally realised that we were spending too much on medicines so we corrected our eating habits and our childrens diet, less of junk food and more of healty diet to cut of this expense.
Hope these would help all.
