Is your air conditioning prepared for the summer season? Your air conditioner need some maintenance tips to ensure excellent performance for the warmer months ahead?    As we gear up for the summer heat soon, your air conditioning is bound to be your closest friend, in providing a welcome relief from the excess heat and humidity outside. To make sure your AC is ready to handle the rising heat effectively, here are some key maintenance tips you need to do.  By following these simple and straight forward tips you can enhance the efficiency of your air conditioner guaranteeing a cool and cost effective summer experience 5-Air conditioning tips to enhance efficiency and reduce Electricity Bills  1. Clean Your AC Filters for Better Airflow One of the ways to get your air conditioner ready for summer is by cleaning air filters as they tend to collect dirt and dust over time leading to reduced airflow efficiency and increased energy consumption of up to 15%. Keeping the filters clean ensures airflow so that your AC can efficiently cool the room by pulling in hot air. 2. Check the Gas Pressure Another important factor in your AC’s performance is its gas pressure. Low refrigerant levels, often known as Freon, can significantly impact your air conditioner's cooling ability. Before the summer heat arrives, it's wise to have a professional technician check your gas pressure. Maintaining proper refrigerant levels helps your system run efficiently and can prevent higher energy costs. 3. Set the Right Temperature—24°C for Comfort & Savings Operating at the optimal temperature is important for comfort and cost savings. The most commonly used setting for most air conditioners is around 24°C. Every degree dropped in the temperature increases power consumption between 5% to 10%. Keeping your AC at 24°C is just like getting your car to run at its optimal speed in perfect comfort. Avoid setting the temperature too low, as this can strain your system and increase your electricity bills. 4. Use Bharat Smart Plug to Monitor, Schedule, and Control Consumption AC is important in summer, managing its energy usage is also equally important. This is where the Bharat Smart Plug (BSP) comes in handy. You can monitor and control the energy consumption of your AC from your smartphone by connecting it to the Bharat Smart Plug.

In the land of start-ups, traffic jams, and flatmate tales, Bengaluru has gifted the internet yet another tale of remainder. Meet Aditya Das, a bachelor whose flatmate has singlehandedly (or perhaps absentmindedly) earned a spot in the Hall of Fame for "Household Blunders of the Year."   It all began when Aditya innocently opened X (Twitter) to share that his flatmate had committed the biggest error of household energy consumption: leaving the geyser running for four months. Yes, FOUR. WHOLE. MONTHS you read that right. The geyser was heating water like it was training for the Olympics of boiling, while they both were on holiday at their hometowns. If appliances had emotions, this geyser would probably be filing a labor lawsuit by now. The post quickly went viral, and social media users who were both worried and quite curious responded in massive numbers. One user joked, "Well, at least you have hot water now," while another commented, "This is the real Indian final destination." And then there was the practical citizen who admitted, "I just read this, got up, and turned mine off. Public service post." But it wasn’t just memes and jokes. Aditya’s disclosure sparked serious discussions about geyser functionality. While some considerate individuals pointed out that modern geysers come equipped with auto-cutoff sensors, others shared terrifying tales of what may occur if thermostats malfunctioned. One user explained, "If the thermostat malfunctions, it could overheat, burn out the heating coil, and make you regret every decision that led to this moment. The moral of the story: switch off appliances when leaving home for long periods or use The Bharat Smart Plug to control remotely. The Electricity Bill: A Plot twist The true climax of this tale is, of course, the mystery of the electricity bill. Aditya hinted at the financial horror awaiting him, saying, "I haven’t received one since last October. Might need to apply for a loan." One user did the math, breaking it down with alarming accuracy: Assuming a 2kW geyser with auto-cut that runs for about 4 hours a day, the total cost could easily climb up to ₹4k/month (depending on the fixed costs, of course). That’s enough to make anyone wonder! However this has become a cautionary tale for anyone who is planning to leave their geyser running for months or to those who think their geyser is just as “set-and-forget”. Safety First, Sarcasm Later While the story had everyone interested, it also highlighted some serious safety concerns. In severe situations, defective geysers may result in electrical fires, overheating, and malfunctions. It's a warning sign to occasionally inspect your appliances and turn them off when not in use.  A Smarter Solution: Bharat Smart Plug to the Rescue If Aditya’s flatmate had used a Bharat Smart Plug, this entire saga could have been avoided.

When we see our electricity bill high, we all think about rechecking whether it’s the correct calculation or we all want to know the reason why we are getting the high electricity bills? Electricity is the basic thing needed in our daily lives. We find it difficult to find out how electricity bills are calculated or how to reduce electricity bills. Don't worry, In order to help you reduce your electricity bills and electricity consumption, we will explain in detail how electricity bills are calculated in this blog. How Electricity bill is calculated? Step-1: Meter reading The first step you need to do is to note down the meter reading from the electricity meter reader to find out your electricity bill. Most of the electricity meters show the amount of electricity used in kWh (kilowatt-hours). You need readings from the previous and current months. Step 2: Calculating Electricity Consumption To get your total consumption, simply subtract the previous month’s meter reading from the present month’s reading. The result is your electricity consumption for the billing period, expressed in kWh. For example: Previous Reading: 1200 kWh Current Reading: 1400 kWh Electricity Consumption: 1400 – 1200 = 200 kWh Step-3 Understanding Tariffs The cost of electricity varies by service provider, location, and connection type (commercial, industrial, or domestic). Knowing the tariff that applies to you is very important. Tariff rates are usually accessible via customer service or the website of your power distribution provider. A slab system is also followed, in which higher usage is charged at a higher rate and lower consumption at a lower rate. For example: 0–100 units: ₹5 per unit 101–200 units: ₹7 per unit Above 200 units: ₹10 per unit Note: The tariffs for different states may differ as per the units being consumed in different slabs. Step 4: Calculating Energy Costs Once you know your consumption and tariff rates, you can calculate your electricity cost using the formula: Electricity Cost = Electricity Consumption (kWh) × Tariff Rate per Unit For example: Consumption: 200 kWh Tariff Rate: ₹6 per kWh Total Cost: 200 × 6 = ₹1200 Step 5: Include Additional Charges Your electricity bill often includes more than just energy costs. Here are some common additional charges: Service Charges: Fixed monthly fees based on your connection type. Meter Rent: A nominal charge for the electricity meter. Taxes: Includes GST and other state-specific levies. When combined, these charges give you the total bill amount. Equip yourself with knowledge After reading the above information you get to know how electricity bills are calculated. This knowledge will help you efficiently reduce the use of energy and cut expenses. Bharat Smart Services gives you the tools to reduce expenses, maximize usage, and help create a more sustainable future. Conclusion: Electricity is one of the basic and quite essential resources for any country, especially India. Hence, it is very important to try and save as much as we can. The very first step towards saving electricity is knowing how much power consumption is happening in your home/building. In the next step, how to save it.
