Why is your electricity bill so high?

 Despite a thousand precautions, 6 mistakes that increase your bill.

Ever-increasing electricity bills are a major source of frustration and economic insecurity. Due to rising inflation in Pakistan, paying the electricity bill has become difficult for both the rich and the poor. Citizens seem to be taking measures to save electricity costs through solar and other methods, but despite trying every method, the electricity bill is not reducing. We tell you where, despite taking a thousand precautions, you make mistakes and cause your bill to increase.

AC/Microwave Oven.

Despite inflation, ACs and other electrical appliances have become common even among the middle class, and these electrical appliances use a lot of energy - but surprisingly, even when you don't use them, these things use electricity automatically.

So try to save electricity to avoid bill shocks.

Air conditioning costs 17% of a home's total electricity costs. In more humid climates, this number rises to 27%. Neglecting care can add to this number quickly. For example, if your AC filters are blocked, your air conditioner will have to work harder to provide the same level of cooling, thus consuming more electricity.

Reduce your consumption during peak hours to save on your monthly electricity bills.

If you're wondering why your electricity bill is so high despite limiting your usage, look at when you use the most electricity. Electric companies charge higher prices during peak hours to limit excess energy consumption.
