6.

AIR CONDITIONER
having automatic temperature cut off
Keep regulators at low cool position
Operate the ceiling fan in conjunction with
your window air conditioner to spread the
cooled air more effectively throughout the
room and operate the air conditioner at higher
temperature
Prefer air conditioners Seal the doors and
windows properly
Leave enough space between your air
conditioner and the walls to allow better air
circulation
A roof garden can reduce the load on Air
Conditioner
7. WASHING MACHINES
Always wash only with full loads
Use optimal quantity of water
Use timer facility to save energy
Use the correct amount of detergent
Use hot water only for very dirty clothes
Always use cold water in the rinse cycle
Prefer natural drying over electric dryers

Service your electrical equipment at

frequent intervals through a competent
electrician

In case of a short circuit or a fire,

switch off the mains instantly Make sure that
you have easy access to switch off the supply
source quickly, in case of an emergency

Make sure your extension cords are

free from cuts, improper insulation, or joints

Ensure pins of your plugs are tight and

not loose

Use switches of the correct current

rating and preferably with indicators to
indicate whether the switch is ON/OFF

Use appliances with 3 pin plugs and

connect them to 3 pin sockets

Do not overload electrical outlets or

use extension cords in place of additional
outlets

Switch off electrical appliances when

not in use

Provide proper earthling for the

building or house

Dont remove a plug from a power

point by pulling on the cord; pull the plug
instead.

Never plug adaptors into adaptors and

avoid using adaptors filled with plugs where
possible.

Do not use electrical equipment

outside if its raining.

Use the correct wattage light bulb for

all light fittings.

Circuit breakers and fuses should be

the correct size current rating for their circuit.

Install exhaust fans at a higher elevation

than ceiling fans
3. ELECTRIC IRON
Select iron boxes with automatic
temperature cutoff
Use appropriate regulator position for
ironing
Do not put more water on clothes while
ironing
Do not iron wet clothes
4. COMPUTERS
Turn off your home office equipment when
not in use. A computer that runs 24 hours a
day, for instance, uses - more power than an
energy-efficient refrigerator.
If your computer must be left on, turn off the
monitor; this device alone uses more than half
the system's energy.
Setting computers, monitors, and copiers to
use sleep-mode when not in use helps cut
energy costs by approximately 40%.
Battery chargers, such as those for laptops,
cell phones and digital cameras, draw power
whenever they are plugged in and are very
inefficient. Pull the plug and save.
Screen savers save computer screens, not
energy. Start-ups and shutdowns do not use
any extra energy, nor are they hard on your
computer components. In fact, shutting
computers down when you are finished using
them actually reduces system wear and
saves energy
5. REFRIGIRATOR
Regularly defrost manual-defrost refrigerators
and freezers; frost buildup increases the
amount of energy needed to keep the motor
running.
Leave enough space between your refrigerator
and the walls so that air can easily circulate
around the refrigerator
Don't keep your refrigerator or freezer too
cold.
Make sure your refrigerator door seals are
airtight

 Cover liquids and wrap foods stored in the

Use task lighting; instead of brightly lighting an
refrigerator. Uncovered foods release moisture
entire room, focus the light where you need it
and make the compressor work harder.
Compact fluorescent bulbs are four times more
Do not open the doors of the refrigerators
energy efficient than incandescent bulbs and
frequently
provide the same lighting
Don't leave the fridge door open for longer
Use electronic chokes in place of conventional
than necessary, as cold air will escape.
copper chokes
2. FANS
Replace conventional regulators with electronic
regulators for ceiling fans

ENERGY SAVING TIPS:

1. LIGHTING
Turn off the lights when not in use
Take advantage of daylight by using light-colored,
loose-weave curtains on your windows to allow
daylight to penetrate the room. Also, decorate with
lighter colors that reflect daylight
De-dust lighting fixtures to maintain illumination
