Are you being as energy efficient as possible? Here are a few tips:
- Get an assessment to energy rate your home.
- Seal the gaps under doors, floors and windows. Draughts account for a significant amount of energy loss.
- By replacing halogen and feature lights with LED lamps you can be up to 10-times more efficient.
- Turn off lights and heating when the room is not in use.
- Turn off electrical appliances at the wall when not in use. Appliances left on standby still use energy.
- Use the correct size and type of heater for the room. Overheating wastes energy.
- Set your hot water cylinder to 60°C, the minimum recommended storage temperature. Warm air rises, so insulate your ceiling, it's one of the best ways to cut your energy bills.
- If you're about to buy a new appliance, choose an energy efficient model by comparing the star ratings.
- If you have a dishwasher, try to use it only when it's fully loaded.
- Use the sun to dry clothes when you can, not the dryer.
-
Select ‘cold wash’ on your washing machine and save energy.
