Do you off the switch when you leave the room....  |
|
Hi friends, When you leave a room either at home or at office, do you switch off all the lights, fan or Airconditioners and then go to the next room, or you just leave it on without bothering.... At home, even when I go from one room to another room to take something I will switch off the lights and fan and when I come back I switch it on again, it has now become a habit...
Some people will switch on the Television even if they are on phone or working in some other room, I usually discourage this for my kids, but they still do it, I try to avoid it as much as possible....
After all we are the ones paying the electric bills and if we are a bit more careful for our own sakes if not for others, this small gesture will go a long way in saving energy also....
So mylotters what do you say? what is your habit......

2. pupupd (421) | 3 months ago | Yes, even I do it. Earlier when I was a kid I had a habit of leaving everything on in one room when I am in some other room. My mom used to scold me for that, Cause our electricity bills used to be very high. In order to reduce the watts required per month, my mother made me switch off the lights and fans before leaving the room. Now after repeated scolding and running behind me I have finally got the habit of following this rule! In addition we also switch off the main geyser switch when not in use because one electrician said that leaving that on, when you are not using the geyser, consumes a lot of electricity which due to daily accumulation leads to a good amount of bill! Also, nowadays the set-top boxes are used to access TV channels, that also consumes a lot of electricity!

4. bhargavoza (428) | 3 months ago | We all have a habit of switching off the light and fan when we are leaving that place at home and at office also.My son who is just 8 years old is also very strict on this and tells erverybody to switch off when they are not present there. Sometimes old people in our house forgets but then we do it for them . By this only we can cut out our electric bills which are very huge.

6. subha12 (16454) | 3 months ago | This is something I always do. I am very sincere about usage of electricity and resources. I always switch off lights, fans etc while leaving the room. I have developed this habit from childhood as my mom has taught us.

8. mymelodake (892) | 3 months ago | I do that too, turn off the light every time I leave the room. However, when I will be just out for a few seconds, then I don't. I heard that turning appliances on causes a surge in power too, but I am not sure if it is real. I'm a bit forgetful when it comes to the TV though, so I must make a habit of turning it off when I leave the room.

kkanaka (393) | 3 months ago | Yeah you are right, if we switch off and on in almost immediately it is better to leave it on... which consumes lesser energy....

9. preema723 (120) | 3 months ago | I definitely turn off lights - and my husband makes fun of me because I don't turn them on until we absolutely have to. My mother always used to tell me to turn off lights and I would think she was a nut, but she would say, just wait until you pay the bill...and she was right. If I can save a few cents by just turning off a light, I am all for it. I also turn off air conditioners if they are in rooms we don't use that much.

10. realan (369) | 3 months ago | I also try to switch off lights when I'm not in the room. If I'm home by myself I sometimes leave the tv or radio on even though I'm in the next room. It comforts me when I'm by myself. Otherwise, I try to conserve as much as I can. The electric and gas bill has been getting more expensive these days.

kkanaka (393) | 3 months ago | Yeah even I do that, if the TV or radio is on I feel like someone is at home... as if we have company.... hhehehehe
