Speaking on tips for saving electricity, AEML’s spokesperson said, “Generally in Summer season, customers use Air Conditioners which contributes 70 percent of their Electricity Bill. Moreover, instead of using it at 24 deg., many customers use it at lower values nearly about 18 deg. leading to 40 percent additional power usage and high bill during monthly billing cycle. Also due to current pandemic, many organisations have allowed their employees to work from home which will also increase the use of various electronic appliances and laptops/ desktop. Our aim is to guide them to use energy efficient electronic appliances leading minimum possible electricity bills in these testing time.”
Tips for AEML consumers to save electricity:
Air Conditioner
– Do not set temperature setting of AC too low. 24 deg. C to 25deg. C is comfortable for human body.

– Increase temperature of AC by 1 degree saves 6 per cent of electricity INR 1500 annually.
Refrigerator
– Keep at least a 6 inches gap between walls and the refrigerator for circulation of air. This improves the cooling efficiency.

Washing Machine
