It was just a relief to have read from today’s newspaper that our local electricity company will finally lower its charge for our consumption and it will reflect on next month’s bill. With the event of global warming turning the temperature notches higher than our usual summer, our air conditioning unit had to work over time. It has to be on otherwise it would deem impossible for us to move an inch without breaking a sweat.
Since this has caused our electricity bill to soar, we have got to do something to manage how we use our electricity. This got me back to doing those little trivial things that seem to amount to nothing. Like unplugging appliances when not in use, not just switching off. We all have the tendency to have the plugs in the sockets for convenience. But the truth is there is still a certain amount of electricity going through the appliance that actually gets charged to your utility bill. In so doing, we do not just save electricity that will benefit you and the environment, you also get to save money.
Do you know that electrical appliances that are left on standby actually use up to 85% of energy that they would use if they were switched on? Ridiculous, right, but it’s true. It may take a while to pull that plug when the appliance is not on, but it will be worth your while. And while you are at it, make sure to call on one of those Naperville Electricians to check that no wiring is gone bad. Wrong wiring does not just consume unnecessary energy but may cause untoward incidents like fire. Let’s start conserving energy and do our share. It’s really not that hard.
