6 Ways To Legally Reduce Your Electricity Bill

In view of the recent increase of electricity tariff from N68/kilowatt to N225 per kwh–hour, which is more than a 200 percent hike, there is a need for consumers to consume energy wisely and avoid waste and with it reduce the electricity bill.  Here are some ways to reduce waste of electricity by consumers and reduce your bill.

Avoid leaving appliances on standby

When you leave cooling units for hours, along with other appliances like printers, WiFi routers, light bulbs, video games, TV, and washing machines, the electric units start to count very high. Plug the items you use regularly into a power strip, so you can easily switch them all off at once.

Your energy lighting must be efficient

Your energy lighting must be efficient because LED bulbs use less power and last longer. Even if you decide to leave some major security light bulbs on at night, you will still spend less money and time replacing them.

Reduce use of air conditioners

Air conditioners are like refrigerators; they are designed to maintain a set temperature. Once they reach the desired coolness, they shut off until the temperature rises again.

Avoid wasteful use of water

You will find some homes where the taps in the kitchen or bathroom are left to run and even overflow due to carelessness. If they use electricity to pump water, this will incur huge utility bills and it would do you well to reduce the bill by being more diligent. So proper water management must be observed and the energy will be conserved.

Regulate use of cloth dryers

It is also important to limit your use of clothes dryers. They use lots of energy. Hang clothes outside to dry or use a fan to help dry them indoors,

Manage kitchen gazettes

If you walk into some kitchens, you can easily deduce why they have high electricity bills and why it is difficult to reduce. Take, for instance, their refrigerator, if it’s not properly closed or they have a freezer in addition to the fridge, which is always on, they would be adding to the energy use.
