HOUSEHOLD SAVING TIPS

ELECTRICITYElectric Meter

Learn to read your electric meter to make sure you pay exactly what you consumed. If possible, check your electric meter every day.LightsTurn off lights when not in use. Fluorescent lights are more economical than the incandescent lights. Clean your light bulbs regularly. Accumulated dust reduces your bulbs brightness.

CookingAvoid using big burner for a small pan. When cooking is almost done, you can turn off your stove and maximize the available heat.

TV Sets and Electric FansTurn off television if no one is watching. Pull the plug when using a

transformer.

IroningSchedule your ironing days. Ironing in bulk is more economical. Refrain from dampening clothes excessively to avoid wasteful ironing.

RefrigeratorsDefrost regularly. Keep the refrigerator away from the stove and sun. Always keep the coils clean.

Air ConditionersMake sure that the thermostat is in good condition. Position your aircon at the most elevated part of the room. Always keep the aircon filter, condenser and other parts clean.

Pipes and FaucetsMake it a regular habit to check pipes and faucets to find out if there are leaks. Have leaking pipes and faucets repaired immediately.

Toilet BowlsAvoid frequent flushing of toilet bowls. Use half a pail of water instead when flushing.

Washing of VehiclesUse a rug and a pail of water when washing your vehicle. Avoid using a water hose which is very wasteful.
