1. Switch to LED Bulbs

Replace all incandescent and CFL bulbs with energy-efficient LED lights. They consume up to 80% less power and last much longer.

2. Unplug Devices When Not in Use

Appliances like chargers, TVs, and microwaves still draw power in standby mode. Unplug them to stop “phantom energy loss.”

3. Use Energy-Efficient Appliances

Check for the Energy Star label when purchasing new devices. Energy-efficient refrigerators, fans, and ACs save significant units per month.

4. Limit Air Conditioner Usage

Set your AC thermostat to 26°C or above and ensure rooms are properly sealed. Regularly clean filters for maximum efficiency.

5. Run Heavy Appliances During Off-Peak Hours

FESCO offers off-peak electricity rates. Run washing machines, irons, or water motors during off-peak hours to save more.

6. Turn Off Lights in Empty Rooms

A simple yet powerful habit — always turn off lights and fans when leaving a room. Even small changes cut big costs over time.

7. Use Solar Energy

If possible, invest in solar panels to reduce dependency on FESCO’s grid electricity. Solar systems provide clean, renewable power and cut bills drastically.

8. Improve Home Insulation

Seal doors, windows, and gaps to maintain room temperature. It reduces the load on your air conditioner or heater.

9. Maintain Appliances Regularly

Dust buildup or clogged filters make appliances work harder and consume more energy. Schedule regular maintenance to optimize efficiency.

10. Monitor Your Electricity Usage

Use a smart meter or check your FESCO online bill regularly to track consumption patterns. Being aware helps you adjust usage strategically.

⚡ Bonus Tip:

During peak hours (6 PM – 10 PM), avoid using high-power devices to keep your load factor low and your FESCO bill affordable.
