5 Power Usage Tips To Observe This Lunar New Year

As Malaysians get to enjoy Chinese New Year celebrations with less trepidation compared to previous years, there is still caution when traveling outstation or larger than allowed gatherings. Remember Omicron is not a guest anyone would like to invite over!

While we revel with our close relatives and friends after a long hiatus of such festivity mood, do not neglect the basic duties of housekeeping. If leaving the house unattended for many days, do ensure unused electrical equipment is tucked away or switched off.

To prevent any unintended situation from occurring, Tenaga Nasional has offered some tips on what to do before leaving the house during this Lunar Celebration.

The following recommended safety tips also ensure electrical and residential appliances are left in a safe and energy-saving state:

  1. 1. Switch off unused electrical appliances and unplug them to prevent power supply from flowing continuously (you dont want heavy electricity bills or worse the equipment catching fire)
  2. 2. Make sure all sockets are in good condition and not overloaded with adapters and extension cable; (there has been cases where they overact and burn)
  3. 3. When using extension cables, unwind them completely to prevent it from overheating and melting on the inside
  4. 4. There are homes that would leave lights on the whole day when they balik kampung, while this is used to prevent burglary, perhaps users can invest in a timer of smart light to control the hours the light are kept on
  5. 5. And lastly do check all the electrical equipment you use at home, ensure they are in good condition and in working order. The last thing you need is the rice cooker busting on the special reunion dinner.
  6. For households that will be organising gatherings, TNB advises their customers not to overburden the electrical sockets to avoid electrical overload or outages. This could lead to blackout to the home or the street.
  7. Important numer to remember:
  8. TNB CareLine at 15454 or TNB’s Facebook, CareLine for assistance in the event of a power outage during the holidays Chinese New Year later
  9. Bomba and Police: 999 (Alternatively, 112 is the standard emergency number globally which could be made from a mobile phone, regardless whether the mobile phone has credit, is barred, or locked. Note that calls can only be made if there is a network connection)
