Start with the essentials

Compare consumption in units, not just the bill total, because tariffs and billing periods can change. Identify cooling, water heating and other large loads. Small habits help, but an old or faulty appliance may need attention from the owner.

What you can do

  1. Switch off unused lights and choose efficient replacements when existing lamps need changing.
  2. Clean accessible filters as directed and keep airflow clear around appliances.
  3. Ask the landlord before alterations and report hot sockets, sparking or damaged wiring.

Keep in mind

No fixed rupee saving applies to every home. Never bypass a meter, overload a socket or attempt unsafe electrical repairs.
