some ideas for conserving energy or using it more efficiently. Recall these terms:
Conservation – not using consumer energy products (for example, turning lights off, walking instead of driving)
Efficiency – benefiting from the value of using energy (for example, still being mobile), but consuming much less energy to meet same goal (for example, using an automobile with high miles per gallon)
Another large energy consumer category is electric lighting and appliances. (Refer to data in the Excel graphing activity, lesson 1, for specific information.) Our homes are filled with appliances that use electrical energy to work for us. Toasters, microwave ovens, televisions and computers are examples of the appliances we use everyday. We compare electrical energy use in units called watt-hours or kilowatt-hours. Lighting accounts for 20-25% of all the electricity used in the U.S. On average, a household uses 5-10% of its energy for lighting. A commercial industry on the other hand consumes 20-30% of its energy in lighting alone; 50% or more of the energy used is wasted by obsolete equipment, inadequate maintenance, or inefficient use.

Answer:
In my house there are many appliances which run on electricity, such as microwaves, refrigerator, AC, television, chimney, bulbs and tube lights, fans, computer, iron, and charging phones.
Explanation:
In total consumption of energy, the estimated amount in terms of money spend is around Rs (200 -300) per day. In order to improve the efficiency of utilization of power consumption, we need to switch off all the unnecessary electrical appliances, which are not being used, and also, there should be use of new products of electrical gadgets, which performs with low power consumption.
