How To Reduce Electricity Bill
As day after day, inflation is rising, it has become very difficult for a layman to fulfil his/her family’s necessities of life. Therefore, it becomes necessary to adopt a lifestyle, which makes our life comfortable. Electricity is a basic necessity of life, but its increasing price has made the lives of our general public miserable.
The government of Pakistan has borrowed heavy loans from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to repay its loans. In return, the IMF pushed the Government of Pakistan to increase electricity prices. Due to the new deal in July 2023 Pakistan with the IMF, NEPRA has increased the price of the basic unit by Rs 4.96.
The tariff of basic electricity units was previously Rs 24.82 and due to the increase in tariff, it will become Rs 29.78.
Including the basic tariff, a unit of electricity in the country currently costs an average of Rs.45.
So, it becomes essential for us to use electricity wisely to reduce our bills to compete with inflation. The following are some simple methods, which may minimise our electricity bills.
1. Use Good Quality Electric Wires:
Substandard electric wires are one of the main reasons for high electricity bills for both domestic and commercial usage. Due to the poor quality of these wires, electric devices consume more electricity than actual; as a result, consumers receive higher bills.
2. Unplug all electric devices when not in use:
Generally, we think if a device is plugged into the socket but it’s not working then it is not consuming electricity. But, it’s not so, the majority of electric devices consume a small amount of electricity in this position too. The habit of unplugging electric devices also saves your devices from unexpected power surges, which may damage them.
3. Wear Comfortable Dresses:
The most effective method of reducing our electricity bills without any hard work is to wear clothes according to the prevailing temperature.
4. Check All Electric Appliances Before Sleeping At Night.
5. Use Minimum Electricity At Peak Hours.
In the following detail peak hours for different months of the year are given. Do not use DC home appliances during these peak hours because during this period rate of electricity rises from Rs 11 per unit to Rs 22 per unit.
6. Be Careful During the Last Week of the Month.
7. Replace Air Conditioner’s Filters Monthly:
Dust in the air is a common issue in big cities and due to this filters of air conditions become dirty and their ventilation passages are blocked. The blockage of air condition filters consumes more energy than normal. Therefore, clean air conditioners filter regularly to minimise your electricity bill.
