Summer is when electricity bills peak in most Indian homes. A few small changes can make a noticeable difference.
1. Set your AC to 24°C
Every degree lower makes your AC work harder. 24°C is comfortable for most people and noticeably more efficient than 18–20°C.
2. Use ceiling fans with the AC
A fan circulates cool air, so you can set the AC a degree or two higher and still feel comfortable.
3. Clean AC filters regularly
Dusty filters restrict airflow and make the compressor run longer. Clean them every two to three weeks during heavy use.
4. Switch to LED bulbs
LEDs use a fraction of the power of old incandescent bulbs and last far longer.
5. Turn off appliances at the switch
TVs, set-top boxes and chargers draw power on standby. Switching them off at the wall adds up over a month.
6. Choose star-rated appliances
When replacing a fridge, AC or geyser, a higher BEE star rating means lower running costs for years.
7. Pay on time
Late payments can attract surcharges. Pay your bill on TRETTON EPICE as soon as it's generated — we'll show you the due date before you pay.
