Tips to Save Electricity Bill: Winter has arrived, and many people have started using heating appliances like geysers and heaters. Now, when these extra appliances are running, they will increase your electricity bill. Therefore, we're telling you how you can save on your electricity bills in winter by using your geyser and heater.

Things to Keep in Mind When Using a Geyser

Geysers are among the most electricity-consuming appliances, so use them with caution. Avoid setting the geyser's thermostat too high. It's best to set it between 50-55 degrees Celsius, as heating water at higher temperatures consumes more electricity. Get your geyser serviced at least once a year. Dirt and scale accumulated in the tank affect the heating element's performance, increasing electricity consumption. Avoid leaving the geyser on continuously. Turn it on 10-15 minutes before bathing and turn it off immediately after use. Leaving it on continuously causes the hot water to cool down, and reheating it repeatedly wastes electricity.

If your geyser has a timer, use it to ensure it runs only when needed. Choose a geyser capacity based on your family's needs. A large geyser will unnecessarily heat more water and increase electricity consumption. Before turning the geyser on again, open the tap to check if there is still hot water left in the tank that you can use.

Things to keep in mind when using a room heater

If the heater has a thermostat, it controls the room temperature and turns the heater on and off as needed, saving electricity. Before turning on the heater, close the windows and doors properly so that the heat remains inside the room and the heater will have to be run for a shorter time. After heating the room, turn off the heater. Do not keep the heater on continuously; run it only when needed. Use the heater mainly in small and closed rooms, so that the heat is generated quickly and the heater can be turned off quickly.

By adopting such small tips, you can definitely save some money on the electricity bill consumed by geysers and heaters. By saving on electricity bills during winter, you can prevent your household budget from getting spoiled.
