With the arrival of summer, it's common to see a sharp increase in electricity bills. As temperatures rise globally, the use of air conditioners and coolers is expected to grow. While this increased usage can lead to higher utility costs, there are several effective strategies to help reduce your electric bill during the hotter months. **Ways to Reduce Your Electric Bill** **Structural Measures** Some of the most effective ways to cut down on energy use involve structural changes that can be implemented at the time of construction or renovation. For instance, using reflective materials on the exterior of your building can significantly reduce heat absorption from sunlight. Adding insulation to walls, especially the roof, can also help maintain a cooler indoor temperature. One cost-effective method is to embed clay "kullhars" (clay cups) in west-facing walls, which act as natural insulators. Planting trees and shrubs around your home is another long-term solution. These provide natural shade, reducing the need for artificial cooling. While it may take time for them to grow, strategically placed vegetation can work in tandem with curtains and blinds to keep your space cooler. You can also make immediate improvements by using bamboo or cane screens on balconies to block the afternoon sun. South- and west-facing windows should have heavy, dark drapes to prevent heat from entering. These simple adjustments can make a big difference in keeping your home comfortable without relying too much on air conditioning. **Other Practical Measures** In addition to structural changes, there are several behavioral adjustments you can make to lower your energy consumption without sacrificing comfort: 1. Unplug appliances when not in use. Even when turned off, devices like TVs, computers, and phone chargers can consume power in standby mode. Use smart power strips or turn off the socket switch to save energy. 2. Adjust your air conditioner settings wisely. Instead of setting it to 18°C immediately upon entering a hot room, try taking a cold shower and wearing light clothing. Keeping the AC at 25°C is more energy-efficient and still provides a comfortable environment. 3. Invest in energy-efficient appliances. Look for products with high star ratings. For example, an old AC used for five hours daily could cost around Rs. 27,372 annually, while an inverter AC might only cost Rs. 16,670. Upgrading can save you over Rs. 10,000 each year. 4. Position your refrigerator properly. Ensure there’s enough space around it for proper airflow—ideally at least 2 inches from the wall. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, and don’t overload it, as this can reduce efficiency. 5. Replace traditional bulbs with LED lights. They use 75% less energy and last 25 times longer. Plus, they emit less heat, reducing the load on your air conditioner. Always remember to turn off lights when leaving a room. 6. Use ceiling fans instead of AC whenever possible. Fans create airflow that makes you feel cooler, allowing you to reduce AC usage. Turn them on early in the morning or evening to maximize their effect. 7. Optimize your washing machine usage. During summer, take advantage of the weather to air-dry clothes. Use cold water and a lower spin speed, and only run the machine when you have a full load. This can significantly reduce energy use. In many parts of India, power outages are frequent, making solar inverters a popular choice. Consider a brand like Genus, which offers pure sine wave inverters that are highly efficient and minimize energy loss. If you only need to power basic appliances like fans or lights, modified sine wave inverters, such as the Thunder model, are a more affordable option. Investing in a reliable inverter system can help you manage your energy costs more effectively throughout the summer.

Compound Machine Series

Realized the processing of rough hobbing+edge extrusion and deburring+ fine hobbing of the medium and small module gears at one time, and completely solves the problem of flanging burr and bulge on the tooth surface. While significantly improving the machining accuracy of gears, it avoids the reduction of tool life or machining accuracy caused by flanging burr or bulge in the subsequent process after heat treatment.
The height of edge squeezing and deburring can be adjusted at will in the edging squeezing station, and the chamfering station can realize rapid production changed. At the same time, turning and deburring function can be selected with special design.
High running speed, accurate and reliable positioning,easy adjustment and operation by the built-in truss mechanical arm. Adopt multi-station circulating palletizing automatic bin, which can quickly change production, easy adjustment, lifting height up to 400mm. One-time loading can meet the needs of long time machining.
