Speak to your energy retailer and consider these energy saving tips:
- Ask your retailer to undertake an energy audit of your home, this can usually be done over the phone, and can help to identify ways to save energy.
- Hot water, heating and air-conditioning can be a large part of your energy bill. Set your hot water thermostat to 60ºC. In summer, set your air-conditioning to between 23ºC and 26ºC and in winter your heating to between 18ºC and 21ºC. Remember to turn your heating and cooling off overnight.
- Close your curtains at night.
- Turn off lights when you leave a room.
- Don’t leave appliances on standby – turn them off at the switch.
