With the expected rise in temperatures during the summer of 2025, citizens are increasingly dependent on electrical appliances, which leads to a significant increase in electricity bills, which made many citizens wonder about the best ways to reduce consumption without affecting daily comfort.
Individuals are interested in knowing the methods of providing electricity consumption while operating air conditioning and other electrical appliances; In order to reduce the electricity bill, which the individual pays at the end of the month, as the summer enters, families operate the air conditioner for long hours, so families are keen to know the best means to reduce electricity consumption.
In this context, Dr. Ahmed El -Shennawi, an electric power expert, directed a set of advice and procedures that would contribute to reducing electricity consumption during the summer, noting that rationalization of energy consumption is no longer just an option, but has become a general culture that many countries around the world apply for environmental and economic reasons.
Al -Shennawi said, in statements to Cairo 24, that reducing electricity consumption does not only contribute to reducing the value of the monthly bill, but also helps in reducing the amount of energy produced from fossil fuel stations, which contributes to reducing carbon emissions and providing natural gas for use in vital industries such as fertilizers and petrochemicals.
Energy expert tips to reduce electricity consumption in summer:
The electric power expert pointed to several procedures and advice that reduce the consumption of electricity during the summer, and it came as follows:
Air conditioning devices:
Setting temperature at 25 degrees Celsius is an ideal option to reduce the air conditioning period, which saves electricity and maintains public health, as low temperatures such as 18 or 20 may harm the body.
Electric heater:
It is recommended to connect it just a quarter of an hour before use, then separate it immediately after the completion, because leaving it connected throughout the day leads to an unjustified consumption of energy due to the automatically heating the water.
Automatic washing machine:
Its operation with its full load is better than dividing the laundry over more than once, and it is preferable not to use the dryer and expose the clothes to the sun.
Water kettle:
It should only be filled as needed to avoid the consumption of extra energy.
Refrigerator:
It is advised not to put hot food directly, clean them regularly from snow, and not to open its door continuously, and it is preferable to arrange foods to reduce gaps that lead to longer operation of the refrigerator.
Microwave:
It is preferable to use it instead of the electric oven to heat the food in less time and less energy consumption.
Lighting:
Use energy -saving “LED” bulbs, and extinguish the lights when leaving the room, while installing motion sensors in common places such as stairs to reduce the operating period.
The choice of devices based on energy efficiency
Al -Shennawi pointed out the importance of attention to the energy efficiency card installed on electrical appliances when purchasing it, especially those that consume large amounts of electricity such as heaters, washing machines and adaptations.
The card shows the classification of the device in terms of its efficiency in the use of energy, using letters such as A, B and C, where the device classified with the letter A is considered the most efficient and energy -saving.
He stressed that this card is approved by the electricity facility organizing device, and the ministries of industry and electricity, which is an important tool for the consumer to make the decision to purchase smart and economic.
