Energy Conservation Tips|KSEB 

• Don't keep Electrical Gadgets "ON" in idle condition.
• Always provide doors & windows to admit natural light ( Sunlight ) to avoid using electricity in homes or offices during the day.
• To avoid leakage always use Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker / Residual Current Circuit Breaker in circuit.
• Always buy fewer bulbs of higher wattage rather than many of lower wattage.
• Always buy electrical gadgets with capacity according to your needs & not of much higher rating e.g.larger refrigerators consume more electricity.
• Use Compact Fluorescent Lamps to reduce electricity consumption substantially.
• Ensure proper Earthing in your premises.
• Use electronic regulators for ceiling fans.
• Avoid storing hot / warm food in refrigerators.
• Turn-off decorative & non-essential lights especially in unoccupied areas.
• Also consider the Following:-
• 1 Unit Electricity is the amount of electrical energy consumed by a load of 1 kW power rating in 1 hour. It is basically measurement unit of electrical energy consumption in Joule. 1 kWh (kilo watt hour) and 1 Unit are same.
  
  1 kWh is the amount of energy consumption by 1 kW load in one hour. Therefore, 1 Unit = 1 kWh.
