Refrigerator
* Choose the right size for your family's needs
* Cover all food and liquids when placing in the refrigerator.
* Uncovered food releases moisture and makes the compressor work harder.
* Do not overload the refrigerator. Allow air to circulate freely in the compartments.
* Defrost your freezer regularly because frost build-up causes the refrigerator to use more energy.
* Frequent opening of the refrigerator will cause the appliance to consume more electricity to maintain the coolness.
Washing Machine
* Wash only when you have a full load.
* Select the appropriate wash cycle.
* Avoid using the hot water cycle unless necessary.
* Use the required amount of detergent.
Televison
* When watching television, keep lighting dim to lower energy usage. This saves electricity and also cuts annoying glare from your television screen.
* Swith off the television when no one is watching.
* Turn off all electrical points completely before going bed evey night. Leaving them on standby mode will use up energy.
Air-Conditioning
* Choose the correct size of air conditioning for your home.
* Set your timer to reduce the hours of usage at night.
* Clean air filters regularly.
* Set the thermostat at an ideal 25 degree celsius.
* Close your windows and exterior doors when you use air conditioning.
* Keep your home cool by using awnings, blinds or solar reflecting film on the windows.
