• Use electronic chokes instead of ordinary chokes.  They save two-third energy lost in chokes.

• Use electronic regulators for fans instead of ordinary regulators.

• Defrost refrigerators regularly.

• Don’t keep hot food in the refrigerator.

• Ensure that the air-conditioning space is properly closed.

• Set geyser thermostat at the minimum.

• Buy electrical equipments with ISI marks only.

• Use the washing machine at full loads, as the consumption of water will be the same whether you put in half a load of clothes or a full load.

• Mix hot water in the bucket for a bath rather than using a geyser shower.  Showers consume more power and up to 90 litres of water for a bath.

• Change the heat element in the geyser every 5-6 years; this will enable heating to be faster and also save valuable power.

• Plug on your iron only after you get all your clothes together.

• Use light colours on the walls of your rooms, which will help in reducing lighting requirements up to 40%.
