Hello to all Steemians. I hope you all are well and happy in your life. Today I am using SLC32-W1 || Participating in Real Life Problem Solving Challenge: Save Electricity At Home organized by @ahsansharif. First of all I want to thank those who organized such a good and useful challenge. This challenge makes us aware about a very important problem of our daily life,i.e. saving electricity.Nowadays, electricity is one of our biggest needs, but sometimes we unknowingly use too much of it, which increases the electricity bill and also leads to wastage of energy.I liked this challenge very much because it gives us an opportunity to think about ways to save electricity in our home and also make others aware.So today I am going to share some experiences and habits to save electricity in my home.

In today's modern times, electricity has become a very important part of our lives. From waking up in the morning till sleeping at night, we use many devices which run on electricity. Fan, fridge, mobile charger, TV, cooler, washing machine, bulbs and other appliances make our lives easier. But sometimes we waste electricity unknowingly. Many people forget to switch off the lights or fans while leaving the room, leave the charger plugged in unnecessarily or keep the lights on unnecessarily even during the day. Due to these small mistakes, the electricity bill increases and energy is also wasted.I start writing the post with the question asked in this post.

What are two electrical appliances in your home that use a lot of electricity? Explain with original pictures.

Refrigerator is a very important appliance in our house.It is used to preserve food items, milk, vegetables, fruits and other food items from spoiling.In summer, the refrigerator is used a lot for drinking cold water.The most special thing about the refrigerator is that it runs continuously throughout the day and night. For this reason it consumes more electricity.I have noticed that when the fridge door is opened repeatedly,the power consumption increases as it takes more energy to cool down again.Thats why I try to open the fridge door only when necessary.Fan and cooler are most used in our house during summer season.Due to high heat,the fan runs almost the whole day and sometimes the cooler has to be used. Although it is very important for our convenience,but due to its continuous running,it consumes a lot of electricity.If they are not used properly, the electricity bill may become higher.Therefore,we try to switch off the fan when not needed and also run the cooler for a limited time.

What two methods do you use to reduce electricity consumption? Show at least one practical method with a selfie.

I adopt two methods to save electricity. The first method is that whenever I leave a room, I switch off the lights and fan. This prevents unnecessary wastage of electricity. Another way is that I try to use natural light during the day. I keep windows and doors open so that less lighting is required during the day. This reduces electricity consumption. Practically, I myself take care that no electrical item is left on unnecessarily. If a light or fan is not working, I switch it off immediately.

Have the two methods you use to reduce electricity consumption resulted in a reduction in your electricity bill or not? Explain

Yes, I think these habits have had a positive impact on our electricity bill.Earlier it used to happen many times that the light or fan of the room kept on running unnecessarily.But now we have started paying attention to it.When we make small changes,like turning off the switch when leaving the room and using natural light during the day,gradually the power consumption starts reducing. Although a huge change in the bill may not be visible immediately, the difference starts to be felt over time. I think saving electricity is not only about saving money but also about using resources properly. If we save electricity today, the problem of energy shortage in future can also be reduced.

What is the easiest habit for you to save electricity?

The easiest habit for me to save electricity is to switch off lights and fans when I leave the room.This is a very easy task which every person can adopt without any problem. It does not require any extra expense or hard work.Just a little awareness is needed. When this becomes a habit, we start switching off without even thinking.I think this is the simplest and most effective way to save electricity.

What advice would you give to others to save electricity so that they can reduce their electricity bill and save money?

I would like to advise all people to use electricity wisely.Keep lights, fans and other equipment off when not needed. Use natural light during the day and install low power consuming LED bulbs.Do not open the fridge frequently and switch off TV, mobile charger and other electronic devices after use.Many people leave the charger plugged in unnecessarily, which also wastes electricity.

Apart from this,children should also be taught the habit of saving electricity from childhood so that they grow up to become responsible citizens.If people start saving a little electricity in every house, then energy can be saved in the entire country.This will reduce the electricity bill and also save money.

So friends, this was my post which I end here, I hope you all will like my post. See you again with a new post with new energy. Thank you.
