Save Current Save Currency
Saving Current doesn't just save money only, it also saves You and Your Environment. Its a news to a lot of people, you contribute a little pollution when Every time you turn on the lights because it just happens in the power plant. Most electricity is generated by burning coal and other fossil fuels. .In fact, the average home pollutes more than the average car! So saving electricity doesn't just put money in your pocket, it helps keep the air and water fresh.
So the helpful key to stop climate change is reducing home energy use. That's because, as it truth, we can't stop the oil from being burned for transport, since if we don't use it, another country will do this. But we can certainly stop burning our coal.
If we reduce our electricity consumption by 50%,this is the quickest way to reduce coal emissions by 50%.
Go for solar? Solar is now not so costly in many cases. My concern about this is that, just like with cars, people are looking for an alternative fuel source so they can continue with this source of energy.
Save Current Save Currency Tips :
- When Use Air conditioning please Keep the door closed.

- Ceiling insulation with at least 50mm of fibrous or foam insulation.
- When use AC must close all doors, windows
- Conditioner filters and condenser coils are kept clean.
- Reverse cycle air-conditioners provide 2 to 2.5 times as much heat as an element type heater for the same electricity consumption.
- Zoning of a house conditioned by a ducted system can cut energy consumption to a half or even third.
- Shade windows during summer to keep sun of the glass.
- Don't leave heating or cooling appliances on when rooms are unoccupied.
- Use personal fans and ceiling fans for relief from hot weather. Fans cost much less to run than air conditioners.
- Many air- conditioning systems operate at 22 deg (c). You will still be comfortable if you set the control for 24-25 deg (c) in summer. and 18-19 deg (c) in winter and you will use a lot less electricity.
- Leave room conditioner "fresh air " and "exhaust air " controls in the closed positions unless you want to freshen thew room air.
- Set fan at high speed for a room conditioner to work most efficiently.
- Evaporative coolers are very effective when installed correctly. The operating cost of an evaporative cooler is only a fraction of that of a refrigerated unit.
- A student can be kept warm with a 150 watt infra red lamp fitted under the desk.
- Localised under carpet heating gives economical armchair comfort.
- People heating is more economical than space heating.-use radiators multi-heat radiant heaters, wall strip heaters ,fan heaters.
- Use Electric blankets for bedroom heating.
REFRIGERATION
34 Select a fridge that uses waste heat for defrosting etc. These fridges are usually cheaper to operate.35 Buy the size you need extra capacity uses extra power.
36 If you already have a chest or upright freezer buy an "all though " refrigerator instead of a fridge freezer combination.
38 Open the door only when necessary.
39 Make sure the door seals well. If a piece of paper will slide easily between the cabinet and the door seal is not good enough.
41 Put the fridge in a well ventilated position.
42 Place your fridge away from direct sunlight or any source of heat. Don't put hot food into a fridge or freezer.
CLOTHES AND WASHING
43 Don't buy a large machine if you don't need it. For the occasional big wash an extra cycle or two is cheaper than under using a large washer.44 Adjust the water level to economically wash a partial load.Otherwise it is better to wait until you have a full load.But don't overload your machine.
46 Use correct type of detergent and cold or tepid water will wash clothes effectively.
LIGHTING
47 Good lighting means avoiding glare and gloom by using the right amount of light in the right way.49 Use a good local light near the task. It is more effective and more efficient than a large central light.
50 Use fluorescent tubes . they use about a quarter of electricity used by ordinary globes and they last
about eight times as long. They CAN be switched on and off as often as you need without affecting operating cost.
CLOTHES DRYING
51 Use solar energy to dry your clothes -it costs nothing.52 Operate your dryer using the fan alone. Only switch the heater on if it is really necessary.Vent the dryer outside the house and don't let lint block the vent.
54 Switch off when the clothes are dry enough - over drying makes them feel harsh and waste electricity.
55 Tumble dryers are more effective than cabinet dryers.
WATER HEATING
56 Off peak low pressure storage heaters are generally the cheapest overall.And you have paid for it to be heated.
58 Water restrictors and low flow shower nozzles will help to save water.
59 Insulate hot water pipes from storage heaters for at least a metre from the heater as heat can be conducted along these pipes and lost to the atmosphere.
61 Normally you will use less water for shower than bath.
62 Fill your electric kettle or jug from the cold tap.Running off a lot of cold water from the hot pipes is wasteful and expensive.
63 Don't have you hot water set too 70 deg (c) is usually hot enough . Otherwise it costs more to heat the water and it loses more heat while being stored.
