The onset of the winter season brings together the sweater weather as we cosy up at home sipping on a hot drink while trying to warm up in the midst of the chilly winds. From the festive season to the sick days, many of us tend to spend a lot more time at home which, in turn, uses up the maximum amount of electricity. From appliances like room heaters to geysers, lighting, etc. Using all of them on a regular basis consumes an ample amount of energy and this adds to your bills directly. However, these appliances are a basic hygiene to our everyday lives which makes it difficult to stop using them. Switching to energy efficient appliances is the new way-forward that not only saves up on your electricity bills but also ensures you are doing your bit to take care of the environment.
Here are a few tips on to have an energy-efficient home:
Create a warm living space with a Room Heater
While we enjoy the cool breeze and the chilly winds it also entices you to have a warm cosy feel inside your house. To combat this, choosing to install a room heater that warms up your living space but also consumes very less amount of energy is highly recommended. Some room heaters are available in the market and come with a Heat setting of 1000W and are ISI marked which helps you save a lot of energy and keeps your house warm at the same time. These room heaters are made with Rust free reflectors and they look very stylish, which also uplifts the aesthetics of your home décor.
Switching to LED bulbs
While we talk about saving energy and money, swapping the fluorescent bulbs and lights with energy-efficient LED lights is an easy but important step. LED bulbs have a much longer lifespan, as a regular LED can last up to 5-10 times longer than a CFL bulb, resulting in lower maintenance costs. More importantly, LED bulbs consume a lesser amount of energy. There are LED bulbs available in the market, which are hybrid, offer colours to suit every occasion, and come equipped with smart connectivity that can be paired with Alexa and Google Assistants to provide a hassle-free experience.
Combating the cold with the most innovative water heater
A hot water bath is always a good option to start your day or even after a stressful day at work. Most of us prefer a hot water bath during the winter season as it gives instant relief and calmness. Since there is an increased use of water heaters during this season,it is important to have the perfect hot water at an optimised temperature that takes care of you and your loved ones. While many water heaters these days come with customised pre-set bathing modes, others have superior quality glassline coating which ensures durability and longevity of the tank. These water heaters come with an advanced 3-level safety and a powerful heating element that pre-schedules your timing of shower to save energy. Such smart water heaters not only look attractive but are also cost-effective.
Service/Maintain your appliances from time to time
Most of us tend to ignore maintaining or servicing our home appliances until they stop functioning completely. This can lead to replacing major parts of the appliance which will lead to a lot of investment. So maintaining the home appliances time-to-time by servicing them is a wiser option. Keeping the appliances maintained properly ensures that the machine will provide you with maximum benefits in less consumption of energy.
