Dlf Camellias : Alternatives to AC For Reducing Electricity Bill

We get it. It’s the summer and it is humid and nobody likes getting drenched in sweat after being out in the sun even just for 5 minutes. Once we get back home, we need that to cool down, and even while at home, our home like the ultra-luxury Dlf Camellias 2 needs to be cold at all times, otherwise the heat can easily get to us. Installing an AC is an easy solution that quickly cools us down and keeps our home cool but with that, comes a heavy expensive electricity bill. 

In a city like Gurgaon where temperatures tend to be extreme, winters can be relaxing as we do not use AC at all and use the fan to a minimum, which doesn’t put any load on the electricity. We all wish we could head to the Maldives or Bahamas and be there for the entire summer duration, but only if our pockets would allow. But it doesn’t eliminate our worry as having the AC on for most of the time, will have an impact on our electricity bills which is bound to give us nightmares, when it comes to paying those heavy bills. But every problem has a solution, and likewise, there are cost-effective alternatives for AC, which will reduce our dependency on them. 

Smart Ventilation Hacks

Simple tricks like applying cross ventilation or wind ventilation can be pretty effective ways of keeping the space cool, as it allows the free flow of air through the doors and windows. Just make sure to keep the windows open which will help lower the indoor temperature and minimize the requirement for resorting to air conditioners, every time you enter your luxury home like DLF Camellias Sector 54. 

Draw shaded in the daytime 

This one is a brainer as the heat is at its peak during the daytime. So always remember to pull down the curtains which will block the harsh rays of the sun and prevent the cool air in the room from escaping through the open window. For instance, in a luxury home like DLF Camellias 2 Gurgaon, which has floor-to-ceiling windows, residents can opt for nude-colored blinds, which can be easily adjusted as per lighting requirements and it does a great job of blocking the sun rays. 

Use a ceiling fan or Air cooler

Remember the good old days when AC used to be pretty expensive and considered an option for wealthy people while most of us would resort to an air cooler for cooling? Yes, the only minor drawback, would be, that it required monthly maintenance but would often be free of cost as it only required cleanings from the inside, and that air cooler was good to go. Now that the AC has become common, we have almost forgotten about the air cooler. But a combination of ceiling fans and an air cooler will prove to be more than enough for you to reduce your dependency on AC. 

Conclusion

Summers in Gurgaon are never easy time, where the temperature can often peak at 40 degrees Celsius, it becomes important to keep the home cool and block the sunlight at all times possible. While our first resort is always turning towards AC, it does come at a heavy cost of exorbitant electricity bills even at a luxury home like DLF Camellias 2 Sector 54.
