Electricity saving tips while working from home
Here are some simple tips that you can comfortably balance the need to use electrical appliances without wasting electricity while working from home:
- Ensure all the doors, windows and vents are sealed securely when using air conditioning. Use a fan to cool the room so that the air conditioning temperature can be adjusted (for example, between 24 and 26 degrees Celsius) to save energy.
- Clean air conditioner filters to maximise the cooling process.
- Avoid washing clothes with hot water unless necessary and use a full load washing machine instead of half-load.
- Reduce the use of clothes dryers. Take advantage of the hot weather for drying clothes naturally.
- Unplug appliances when not in use.
- Reduce the time taken for bathing if using water heater for hot shower.
