💡 Tips to Reduce Your Electricity Bill
🎯 Stay Under 200 Units
Keep your consumption ≤200 units for 6 months to qualify as a Protected Consumer and save up to 70% on your bill!
💡 Use Energy-Efficient Appliances
Switch to LED bulbs, inverter ACs, and energy-efficient refrigerators to reduce consumption significantly.
🌞 Use Solar Panels
Install solar panels for daytime consumption. Net metering can help you sell excess electricity back to the grid.
⏰ Avoid Peak Hours
Use heavy appliances (washing machine, iron, etc.) during off-peak hours to reduce load and consumption.
🔌 Unplug Devices
Unplug chargers, TVs, and other devices when not in use. Standby mode still consumes electricity.
🌡️ Optimize AC Usage
Set AC temperature to 24-26°C, use fans alongside AC, and ensure proper insulation to reduce cooling costs.
