Kasing Lamig, Pero Hindi Kasing Mahal! 5 Electric Fans, Air Coolers Na Matipid Sa Kuryente

It’s no longer a myth that electricity rates are higher during summer!

Meralco itself confirmed in a Facebook post last April 20 that there will be higher rates this month due to the rise in fuel prices, peso depreciation, among others. The electric company said, a typical household would incur a total electricity rate of Php 10.18/kWh this month. It's like a hundred pesos increase for a household that normally consumes 200kWh per month!

Thus, the electric company itself is telling us to be energy-efficient this summer. How do we do this if the hot and humid weather itself invites us to turn on our electric fans and air conditioning 24/7?

Although aesthetic is also important when buying fans, this time, we are focusing on energy-efficiency!

Here's a list of the most 'tipid sa kuryente' electric fans and air coolers that we found online that you can add to your shopping cart!
