In Mumbai, where electricity costs can escalate quickly due to slab-based billing, ChatGPT has suggested ten innovative tricks for households to save electricity this summer. The air conditioner (AC) is identified as the largest consumer of electricity, with a recommendation to set it at 26°C while using a ceiling fan to enhance comfort and efficiency. This simple adjustment can lead to savings of ₹700 to ₹2,500 per month per AC. Regular cleaning of AC filters is also crucial, as clogged filters can increase energy consumption, potentially saving an additional ₹300 to ₹1,200 monthly.

Other tips include using switchable power strips to combat standby power drains, which can save ₹100 to ₹400 each month. For refrigerators, maintaining temperatures at 3-4°C for the fridge and -18°C for the freezer can save ₹150 to ₹600 monthly. Upgrading to BLDC fans can reduce electricity usage by ₹150 to ₹500 per fan, while geysers can be made more efficient with timers, saving ₹250 to ₹700 monthly.

Additionally, utilizing Maharashtra's Time-of-Day billing can further reduce costs by running appliances during the day, while monitoring electricity consumption helps avoid higher slab charges. With these strategies, a typical 2BHK family in Mumbai can achieve a 15-30% reduction in electricity consumption without sacrificing comfort.
