sasview: Change all your bulbs to energy saving LED bulbs. If you must iron cloth, make sure you iron minimum of 10 at once. Go heavily after the energy sapping appliances. Eg, TV, Fridge, Washing machine, TV, Pumping Machine etc. Get inverter and energy saving complaints appliances. Even TV, you can do without it as virtually anything you want to watch can be watched on the phone. Pump water once in a week if you can manage your consumption well. Disconnect the water heater. If you absolutely need hot water, boil it from the stove or gas cooker. Don't leave appliances on standby. If you are switching off, switch off completely from the socket. Appliances on standby still consume electricity. Get rechargeable devices. Fan, bulbs, lantern, powerbanks etc. If you are buying any electrical appliances, always check and compare the power consumption ratings. Buy the lowest power consumption equipment available in the market. 4 Likes 1 Share |

nurez305: Your discos places areas into different bands (A-D), based on the amount of electricity you get daily. The unit cost and amount of electricity supply reduces from band A to D. |

I always turn off the main switch while going out since I stay alone and I am hardly at home during the days. The only time I consume energy is when I want to pump water, watch tv, or charge my phone. I rarely switch on the lights even when there was no meter. |

sasview:@Op, the best way is energy theft. Buhari and his gangs are thieves, stealing Nigerians tax payers money. Get a competent electrician to divert high energy consuming devices ,leave only low energy consuming devices such as bulb, fridge, ironing point. The rest is that you will never have a reason to complain. Buhari and his northern gangs are heartless. Noone pay for electricity in Kano, Jigawa, Katsina, Zamfara, Kebbi states. The last time I bought significant electricity in Gwalgwalada was 4 years back. 3 Likes 1 Share |

chukwuibuipob: plumber will install a float switch in the tank, that will detect the water levels in the tank. So it will switch on and off the machine when required. If you’re not home you will assured that when you get home there will be water in the storage. The only downside is voltage fluctuations. Some areas when power comes it will be 220V, the next minute he don drop to 170. That one fit go spoil machine. 3 Likes 1 Share |

nurez305: I think they have classes or something like that. So it depends on the class you're in. Some areas have more regular power supply than others and that in turn affects how much they pay for power. It's weird I know, but it is what it is! |
