Save up to 20% on power bills this summer Use High Power Consuming Gadgets Early Morning Or Late In The Evening

 You can save up to 20% on monthly bills if you use certain high power-consuming gadgets late in the evening and early morning, or minimize their use during summer, power experts have said. The advice has come ahead of Earth Hour, when citizens switch off lights on March 31 this year between 8.30 pm and 9.30 pm to save power and reduce eco-hazardous carbon emissions. 
A power expert closely associated with the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (Merc) said in the preferential tariff system, burning of lower number of units can lead to lower bills. "Offices and corporates should take collective decisions. If corporates go in for storage devices for ACs, which can generate cool air at night and use it throughout the next day, and similarly if public 
    bodies like the BMC and housing societies shift the time for use of water pumps from day to late night, there will be a major relief in terms of money and environment," he said. 
HOW TO SWITCH OFF AND CUT YOUR BILLS 
Air-conditioners should be used less during peak hours and should not be set below 26 degrees Celsius 
TV sets, music systems, computers and mobile or laptop chargers should not be used much during peak hours and switched off from the mains after use 
Water pumps, mixers and grinders should be used late at night, which can help prepare for next day's routine 
Use staircases, as single use of lift for up/down movement can save power that can light up 150 bulbs for almost an hour At commercial places, ACs which can store cool air by generating it early in the day and later release it throughout the afternoon, will be highly beneficial 
Water heaters or geysers should be avoided during peak hours by minimizing the use of hot water to negligible levels 
YOU MUST USE SOLAR-POWERED TORCHES & LAMPS 
Washing machines can be used late at night, as with ironing of clothes
