Replace your Bulbs with energy efficient ones

Hence replacing your existing lights in your luxury apartment in Ernakulam with CFLs and Fluorescent bulbs is better. 70% of electricity is saved here. Better clean up your dirty lights as they reflect less light. 

Turn off electrical appliances when not in use

To save energy at home, change your habits! Turn off lights and fans when you leave a room in your luxury flat in Kerala. The Fan motor only heats up the room if there are no people in it. It makes more sense to switch off the TV, Sound system, Washing machine, Computers, Induction Cooker, Microwave Oven etc. & also set your computers, monitors, and copiers on sleep-mode as well, when not in use. You can cut energy costs by approximately 40% doing this.

Close your drapes

You can make your house cooler by keeping sunlight out during the hot times of the day. In your luxury flat in Kerala, keep window shades or curtains closed. In winter, let in the warm sunlight to make the house warm and comfortable. Move your furniture around with the seasons to take advantage of the sunlight. 

Wash clothes in cold water

Cold water if used for washing saves on almost 90% of energy. Cold water is just as effective as hot water in getting clothes clean.

Cover up foods kept in the Refrigerator

Any food or drinks kept in the Fridge should be kept covered or kept in reusable containers. Foods when kept exposed makes the Compressor work hard to cool. Ample space between the Fridge and the walls makes the fridge function better.
