Practical tips to help you reduce electricity consumption and lower your bills
As energy costs rise and environmental concerns grow, it's crucial for Filipino families to adopt energy-saving practices. Here are practical tips to help you reduce electricity consumption and lower your bills.
Unplug Appliances When Not in Use
Unplug 'energy vampires' like TVs, chargers, and rice cookers when not in use to save on electricity.
Choose Energy-Efficient Appliances
Look for appliances with high EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings when shopping for new items.
Optimize Air Conditioning Use
Set your aircon to 25°C and use electric fans to circulate cool air more effectively in the hot Philippine climate.
Use Natural Ventilation
Open windows during cooler hours and use 'amakan' (woven bamboo mats) for natural, cool shade.
Switch to LED Lights
Replace traditional bulbs with LED lights, which are now widely available in local hardware stores.
Utilize Natural Light
Make the most of abundant Philippine sunlight by using light-colored curtains and strategically placed mirrors.
Use Cold Water for Laundry
Wash clothes in cold water, which is suitable for most laundry in the Philippines' warm climate.
Cook Efficiently
Use a 'kalan' (traditional Filipino stove) for outdoor cooking or invest in an energy-efficient induction cooker.
