Saving money is not always easy, especially on necessities such as electricity.

1. Buy energy efficient appliances
When shopping for new electrical appliances, make sure you check the energy rating. They may have a higher upfront cost but will save you money in the long run.

2. Service your electrical appliances
Regular upkeep and cleaning of your electrical appliances will not only prolong the life of your machine but also keep it running smoothly and more cost effective.
For example, running the vacuum over your air conditioning unit and making sure the back of the fridge is dust free - will keep the fans clean and running properly.
3. Cover cracks and gaps
if you can feel air coming from a room, chances are it is also escaping through the same area. In summer, keep your blinds closed to keep the room cool.
4. Shop around
Different energy providers offer great deals throughout the year. Call your company and mention the better rates being provided by other companies. Make your energy provider work for you.
5. Try making the ‘SWITCH’
By using a power board, you can supply electricity to multiple appliances at the same time and allows you to switch off all appliances at once.
Standby lights, for example, are using unnecessary power and costing you money - try using lamps or spotlights. If you only need a small amount of light, use lamps or spotlights instead of main lights.
Try switching for energy-saving globes. Changing out the old light bulbs to energy efficient ones will also make an impact on your bill.
There are lots of ways to save money in and around your home. Follow the tips and ideas to help combat the escalating power bill.
Save money on your energy bills by consulting AAE Industries - your accredited Master electrician, to assess where you can best deploy energy saving measures.
