Top Ways to Save Your Electricity Bill and Reduce the Energy Usage

Within the past year, the electricity consumption of Singaporean households has gone up by about 17% as compared to 10 years ago according to a report by the National Environmental Agency, with the electricity tariffs set to rise even further in the coming years.

To save on the electricity bills, you need to look for simple ways to change how you use electricity appliances and reduce your monthly bill along with reducing your carbon footprint and contribute a bit to the nations’ climate action pledge.

Here’s a look at ways to reduce the amount charged by electricity retailers in Singapore:

1. Switch off when not in use

Most of you may have the tendency to leave the TV playing in the background while doing chores at home or leave the lights on even during the day time. Switching off all electricity appaliances when not in use is the most simple and effective way of reducing electricity consumption so that your electricity provider in Singapore can’t charge more from you.

2. Unplug when not in use

Do you know that appliances such as chargers consume electricity even when not in use? Simply unplug them to save more!

3. Make use of TV’s ambient light sensor

If you are opting for Netflix instead of a night out, switch on the sensors so that you can effectively manage the brightness of the screen accordingly. If you are watching in a dark room, it will reduce your power consumption.

4. Go for LED light bulbs

LED light bulbs consume 85% less energy than incandescent light bulbs as they give off less heat when switched on. It helps in reducing your monthly electricity consumption. LED light bulbs also last longer which saves cost of replacement.

5. Keep plants from a cooler home

If you want to avoid hefty bills from your electricity retailers in Singapore, then get more plants for your home. They give out water during transpiration and keep the air around cool, fresh, and purified. You won’t need an air-conditioner that often.
