That fridge part cannot work effectively in Nigeria cos you can never guarantee to have steady power to turn off your refrigerator. Not at this times of grid collapse

A recent increase in electricity tariff was introduced. If you don't manage your consumption, prepare to spend alot.

Here are some ways to manage consumption, which could lower your potential bills.

1. Get rid of those incandescent bulbs of 60 watts, 100 watts. Buy energy saving bulbs of 5 watts, 10 watts

2. Be vigilante when pumping water so you off the pump as soon as the tank is full or install float switch.

3. Your fridge must not be on 24 hours. If you know how well your fridge can retail coldness, you can use your discretion to know when to put it off and on.

4. Standing fans consume less power than AC. You can sleep well with standing fans and not be bothered about high bills.

5. Don't use electric stove(hot plates. Use your gas to cook.

Additional tip: Buy new model appliances with inbuilt inverter. Fridge and AC with inbuilt inverter consume less energy.

Orire01:
ok




My signature make sense though!

Goodlady:
Standing fans consume less than ceiling fans sef.
Electric stoves are the biggest consumers. Powerful than pumping machine.
Anyone running away from gas but using electric stove with metre wey dey use card is doing bad maths. Cos the way that stove go drink the units, using petrol & gas to cook no go.cost reach am.
Meanwhile just as the ex power minister said, some people like leaning bulbs on when they aren't in use. Na werey symptoms o!
Use iron, washing machine, water pumping machine, etc sparingly.

And those with perishable goods in there shops ko?

But a serving Minister said Nigerians keep their AC on when going to see off their friends... That we shouldn't use AC

This country ehn

All this rubbish doesn't work. Ac dey of, my fridge no dey light 24/7 again and yet 5k light no dey do me 4 a week

casualobserver:


There was a time many years ago when the AC in my room was on 24/7 whether I was home or not. The tarrif increase before this one was when I stopped. I live in an area with stable electricity and electricity was very cheap.

I also remember when I was a child that my dad always left the AC in his office on.

So to that point the minister has a point that subsidizing electricity had inculcated bad habits in us as a people. The example he gave about freezer was a bad one. 1 because a lot of freezers don’t actually consume much power and 2 AC is the real power guzzler. When I lived abroad then no born me to leave ordinary light bulb on if I am not in the room talk less leave the house heater on when I am out. Same with petrol…the way I drove abroad with expensive petrol was different from In Nigeria with cheap petrol.

Subsidies do indeed create bad habits.

Thank you for your truthful personal experience.
The one bad attitude that is most common is people leaving their house security light on perpetually. Over a kilometer to my house, I will know if there is light or not just by looking out for lights that are never put off.

Righthussle:
Nigeria leaders bad oo.

Imagine to increase the price of electricity from #68 to #225 per kilowatt-hour. 300 percent hike.

Please how can I move from band A to band B?

Cindypresh:


Nigerians never seen wicked and useless government like Apc before.


It was never this bad before...where you go even see the light to manage

You never see light, you wan manage, lmao😂

jmoore:


3. Your fridge must not be on 24 hours.

Anyone that fails to adjust or manage consumption will pay the ultimate price to the DISCOs.

In fairness, security lights are necessary and especially in these days of LED lightbulbs they don’t consume much. AC is the real power guzzler.

As an example if I were relying solely on NEPA (no solar). And do not use AC for a whole month, my electricity bill will be approx 70-100k a month at the new band A rate of 246/kWh. If I used my AC reasonably for a month, it would be N700k a month. If I used AC like I used to 10 years ago, God knows what the NEPA bill would be.

NOTE: these AC,s are normal compressor ACs. Inverter ACs will be less but still a lot.

AbujaLagos:
In addition buy smart switch, smart socket and sensor switch. They give you timing option, you can program when you want them to be power on/off. You can control them from wherever you are in the world

If we never left the organic architectural designs of our ancestors we wouldn't be here. Houses aren't built with purpose nowadays just aethestics and very little depth.
