Advice from Eskom: use fans to cool off, not air conditioners

With temperatures approaching the 30°C mark in parts of the country‚ Eskom on Monday urged customers to “hold off the air conditioner”.

My advice to Eskom: "f0k jou, ma se p03s"
I will use my aircon, in fact I ran them both, the whole weekend...

Well... now that that is out of the way... I'm switching on my aircon.

Not everyone‚ it seems‚ is a fan of Eskom.

That is so punny!

Just switched the pool heat pump on yesterday.
Cranked it up to 30 degrees.
It should run all day.

We don't have aircon, but I suspect Eskom does.

Airconditioners are for normal folk. I myself prefer to walk around naked in the house - much better way to cool off.

Dear eksdom, rather sort out your problems than make them ours, thanks.

When the parastatal boasted last week that it was “excited to have reached the 100000 Twitter follower mark”‚ at one user replied: “@Eskom_SA Most of us follow to get load shedding announcements‚ not because we like you #uselesskom”.

Watch Eskom's PR team create a R30 Million ad campaign now, to change the public's perception on them.

LOL, anybody who conserves electricity to "help" out ESKOM, is....

Don't want my post to be deleted so will leave the "..." to the imagination.

Does not work in South African summer heat.

 

[TEXTILE GUY]

Sure - the fan will sort out the humidity ...... not.

I know - switch off all the illegal connections then ask again for help.

 

[Ho3n3r]

OK so blow all the hot air from one location to another. Clever.

Indeed... does-not-work.

 

[ToxicBunny]

Too much of funny..

My aircon has been great the last few nights actually.

Jarre you electricity bill is going to be sky high. Good way to f@#k yourself.

I pay for it, so I will bloody well use it

If Eskom is going to give advice they should at least take some, start with Soweto.
