We are living in an age where energy is an absolute necessity to maintain our lifestyle and it includes more than just providing the basics of comfort and convenience. Just Imagine a day without electricity, what could possibly go wrong? Truth is it will affect us directly and indirectly in every aspect.
Saving energy simply means wasting less money, wasting less primary fuel (coal, gas, oil, uranium) and producing less pollution as well! Actually, saving energy should be linked first to you before anyone or anything else. Below are some useful tips that will help you save energy.
The most common tip which can help in saving energy is using LED bulbs instead of the traditional ones since LEDs use at least 75 percent less energy than traditional ones. Also, LEDs require no warm-up time and they can direct light efficiently, whereas incandescent and fluorescent bulbs emit light and heat in all directions, which is wasteful. Not to mention that LEDs last between 15,000-50,000 hours with the ability to reach full brightness instantly. Last but not least, LEDs use about 30% less energy than CFL lights.
Did you know your phone charger is still using energy even when your phone is not attached? Up to 10% of your electricity could be used by gadgets and appliances that are kept on standby.
A standby power controller will automatically reduce standby time and switch appliances off when not in use. So be careful when doing so.
Turn off heaters and coolers when you leave the room, or go to bed. With some ducted heating systems, you can turn off the heating in the rooms that are unoccupied. Make sure all your heating and cooling systems are turned off when you leave the house.
Finally, did you know that up to 36% of energy is saved using the smart inverter compressor? So start using them from today.
Saying is easy but taking an action is easier than that, reconsider your decisions from today and start doing the right thing when it comes to saving energy in order to have a better future. Act now and be the change.
