Well, we did it!
Here are 10 easy ways to cut down the $$ on the hydro bill in our home in Singapore.
Electricity and water saving:
- Replace air-conditioner with fan. On an extremely hot day, you may just turn on the air-conditioner for only half an hour to cool off the bedroom if you must.
- Turn off the light and fan when no one is in the room.
- Use a lower voltage lamp in the room if it is not used for reading.
- Light a candle instead of having to turn on the light in the passageway whenever someone needs to walk to the toilet.
- Open all windows allowing sunlight to come into the room rather than turning on the light during the day.
- Do most of the housework chores during the day to avoid using the light at night.
- Do not turn on 2 or more televisions when everybody in the family is watching the same program in different rooms.
- Plan your linen and clothing washing wisely so that you will not waste electricity and water on small loads of laundry.
- All showers should not take more than 10 minutes unless you have just fallen into a muddy pit.
- No computer games.
