1. Gas Cookers
Gas cookers are a great option for load shedding and cooking in general as it saves electricity- reducing that dreaded bill at the end of the month. You can opt for a gas hob or a gas stove that can fit perfectly into your kitchen theme.
2.Inverters
Inverters are a lifesaver during load shedding and your load shedding survival kit is definitely incomplete without this item. Inverters assist is powering your electronics when the lights are out.
3. Voltage Protectors & Surge Protectors
