Worried about your electricity bill? Here are some ways to keep our electricity bill down.

When using lights use natural lights if possible. Replace incandescent bulb, use compact fluorescent light (CFL).

This is economical than lighting with high wattage of lighting illuminating the whole room.

If you have refrigerator position it at least four inches away from the wall to avoid the monitor overwork. Be sure to defrost your refrigerator before frost builds up to one fourth of an inch. So your refrigerator will run efficiently. Take note no-frost refrigerator consumes more electricity than a regular refrigerator. Restrain to put hot food in the refrigerator, cause this increases the temperature inside the refrigerator and it cost more power. Be sure not to overcrowd your refrigerator, this will interferes the air circulation and overworks the compressor.

In ironing, be sure to do all the ironing at one time. Sprinkle the clothes with water moderately cause excessive moistened clothes take longer to iron. Be sure to iron during the cooler hours of the day, this will help lessen the demand of the power of electricity during that peak hours.

In washing clothes, be sure to wash full loads to maximize the use of washing machine, do not overload your dryer. Always check the filter of your washing machine dryer, be sure to be cleaned, cause the dirty filter restricts the airflow and it will consume more power and more time to dry. Hang your clothes outside during sunny days.

That’s the only few ways to save our electricity bill low.
