Some electricity saving tips from forum

1) switchin on the aircon before I slp and put it on an hour timer,
on the fan overnight to circulate ventilation.

also rem to wash your air con filter often,
e.g. on everyday then wash once a week,
on a hour per day then once a month would suffice.
And the ideal energy saving temp is 25'C, according to my friend who works at SP.

2) use low energy bulbs and leave lights off whenever you leave the room.
I had installed all low energy bulbs in my L-box in the living room.

3) have a common area to do work such as a study room.
This will works better for couple though, not easy for people staying w parents now.

4) install table lamps in bedrooms for bed time reading,
ikea has lotsa of them. use these lights rather than ceiling lights.

5) use full load for washing machines.
wash dark colours and jeans together.
or handwash some odd colour clothes
rather than wash them seperately in washing machines.

6) most imptly,
switching off your main switch of your appliances whenever you are not using. although the idle current in your applicances
does not use much electricity, but it also helps prevent accidents from happening.
