Winter season is going on and the mercury is continuously falling. Apart from the country's capital Delhi, the cold wave continues in many other cities, due to which the cold is increasing. In such a situation, people are taking the help of quilts or lighting bonfires to protect themselves from the cold. At the same time, in winter, people need hot water for washing utensils, taking baths, and for other purposes. That's why people run geysers. However, it is natural for the electricity bill to increase when the geyser is running. But if you keep a few things in mind, then running the geyser can help in reducing this rising bill to a great extent. So let us know what these methods are. You can know about this further...
You can keep these things in mind:-
First thing
The first mistake people make is that they leave the geyser on. Even after the work is done, it remains on. This is sure to increase the electricity bill and also puts a load on the geyser. Therefore do not do this and turn off the switch immediately after need. Although new geysers have the facility of autocut, old geysers do not.
Another thing
If you want your electricity bill to be less even after running the geyser, then you can fix the monthly bill for this. Decide how many units you want to use and try to do your work within that.
Third thing
Many people run geysers less, but still, their electricity bills remain high. But do you know that one reason behind this could also be that they use old geysers? Old geysers start consuming more electricity after some time. Therefore, if you want, you can buy a new and that too 5-star geyser. This can help a lot in reducing electricity bills.
Fourth thing
Whenever we buy a geyser, we buy it without any knowledge, the effect of which is visible in our increasing electricity bills. Therefore, it is always considered better to buy a geyser with high capacity. Once the water is heated in this, it remains hot for about 3 to 4 hours. In such a situation, the geyser has to be operated less and the electricity bill is also less.
