Tips to Reduce Your Electricity Bill Cost
Electricity usage and savings have become especially relevant in Pakistan during the summer months. LESCO, along with appliance manufacturers, advises setting air conditioners to 26°C for optimal energy efficiency.
This temperature helps balance comfort and reduce electricity consumption.
To maximize savings, ensure your AC is well-maintained, use energy-efficient models, and insulate your home to prevent heat buildup.

Standby power and other wasted electricity resources are also significant factors behind your increased bill.
- Always switch off unnecessary lights, kitchen appliances, and other electronics when not in use.
- Always prefer fluorescent lamps and mercury vapor lamps in place of conventional electric lamps.
- Make sure to use proper-sized capacitors for fans and motors, i.e. inductive loading.
- Before the summer season, make sure you are done with your AC maintenance.
- Avoid using high-voltage appliances during peak hours.
- Use double-panel glass windows and high-quality curtains that avoid sunlight from heating up your rooms.
- You can use rigid foam panels in your ceiling for insulation. Wall and ceiling insulation can keep your home cool during daylight hours.
- If you are going to buy an air conditioner, always buy an Inverter AC. Inverters use comparatively less electricity after a few minutes. As a result, you will see a reduction in your monthly bill.
