Tips to Reduce MEPCO Bill
Simple and Easy Energy Saving Tips
1. Unplug when not using
Even when turned off, many devices still use electricity. Unplug chargers, small appliances, and electronics when you’re not using them to stop wasting power.
2. Choose energy-saving appliances
When buying new appliances, pick ones with an Energy Star label. They use less electricity and help lower your bills over time.
3. Switch to LED bulbs
LED bulbs use much less energy and last longer than old-style bulbs. Replace all your bulbs with LEDs to save money and energy.
4. Set your thermostat smartly
In summer, set your air conditioner a little warmer, and in winter, keep the heat a bit lower. Small changes can make a big difference in your bill.
5. Use sunlight during the day
Open your curtains and let natural light brighten your rooms instead of using lamps or lights.
6. Keep your home insulated
Good insulation helps your home stay warm in winter and cool in summer, so you don’t need to run your heater or AC as much.
7. Upgrade windows and insulation if you can
Modern windows and insulation help save energy by keeping indoor temperatures steady.
8. Pick efficient fans and ACs
Choose energy-efficient fans or air conditioners and clean their filters regularly so they work better and use less electricity.
9. Wash clothes in cold water
Washing with cold water cleans your clothes just as well but uses much less energy.
10. Dry clothes naturally
Whenever you can, hang clothes outside or indoors to dry instead of using an electric dryer.
11. Avoid peak hours
Electricity can cost more during peak hours. Try to do laundry, ironing, or cooking when rates are lower.

Always switch off lights, fans, and appliances when you’re not using them even for a few minutes.
