Here are some tips to help reduce your electricity bill:

 

1- Place household appliances away from direct sunlight, especially refrigerators and freezers.

 

2- Choose a location for dishwashers or washing machines with good ventilation to facilitate the escape of heat and humidity.

 

3- Air conditioners should be placed in a shaded area, away from any heat source, and avoid installing them above large appliances that generate heat.

 

4. Audio equipment or sensitive electronics should ideally be kept away from windows and dust sources.

 

Installation guidelines:

 

1. Leave at least 10 cm of space behind large appliances to ensure proper ventilation.

 

2. In kitchens, maintain a minimum distance of 60 cm between the stove and refrigerator to prevent heat from affecting cooling.

 

3. Use stands or shelves to elevate sensitive appliances off the floor to protect them from water damage or moisture.

 

4. If space is limited, plan the arrangement of appliances so that each operates efficiently without interfering with the others.
