Electricity leeches
Do you have many plugs resting in your wall sockets? They may seem harmless when the switch is off but the reality is that a small amount of electricity may still flow through and that adds up to your total electricity consumption.
If you’re leaving your house, switch off appliances like water heater, aircon/fan, TV, sound system, and computers. Unless you have unexpected guests visiting your place when you’re not home… *Shivers*
Best case? Simply unplug when not in use.
Pro-tip: Use an extension power plug for all your appliances. If not in use, unplug the main plug instead of every single plug in the wall. Slay it!

Instead, look out for water tanks that has a keep-warm function to optimize your bathing needs!

The smaller instant heater may look innocent compared to the big boys, but they can pack a punch too! Unlike heating an entire water tank, instant heaters heat up water as it flows through the heating element.
For a standard HDB flat usage, it may be the perfect choice as the usage is generally smaller and is dependent on your demand. However, allowing water to be heated over a prolonged period will still increase the electricity bills too!
