Moving to a new home is the perfect time to get started with energy conservation. Consider investing in modern lighting and appliances that will be worth it in the long run. Some of the most effective ways to live a sustainable life can easily become daily habits and won’t cost a cent. If you are a new owner of a Lentor Central Residences condo, you can save on your bills with these tips
Invest in energy-efficient appliances
Energy-efficient appliances require less electricity during operation, thus reducing running costs in the household. Smart home devices come with energy monitoring features and can be controlled via your phone or app.
Use LED light bulbs
LED lighting is cost-effective, has a longer lifespan than traditional light options, and you can control the brightness or dimness of the light depending on your mood and time of day. You can set the light bulb to dim just enough to light up your condo or you can simply just open windows to bring natural light into your home.
Unplug unused electronics
A common simple way to conserve energy is unplugging any appliance or electronics you are not using, such as chargers, your hair dryer, coffee maker, TV, Nintendo Switch, PS5 or any other console. Don’t forget to turn off and unplug them when you are leaving the room or going out of the house.
Lower your thermostat setting
Temperature settings can greatly affect the energy consumption in your condo, so putting it to an optimal setting and lowering it even by just one degree can reduce heating and cooling costs.
Opt for solar-based appliances and gadgets
Harnessing the power of the sun to run appliances and gadgets is free and uses no energy, just the sun. Some condos already offer this option, deeming this as a good investment especially if you want to save energy.
