The Top 10 Easy-Yet-Overlooked Energy Saving Tips! Follow our simple tips to make your home more energy efficient
Say 'No' to Standby. Unplug unused appliances or switch them off at the wall. Even standby mode uses energy.
Hot doesn't help. Use cold water for the kettle, you won't be heating water twice, plus cold water retains more oxygen, so you'll get a better cup of tea!
Size matters. Choose the right size appliance for the area you want to heat or cool. Overheating and overcooling wastes energy.
24 is the new 18. Set your air conditioner at 24°C. Every 1°C cooler will increase your energy costs by around 10-15%.
Instill a closed door policy. Prevent heat loss by keeping doors closes, especially to cold rooms like kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms.
Let the sunshine in. Capture the sun's warmth by opening curtains during the day and closing them before it gets dark.
Wet + Dry = Dry. When using a dryer to dry one item in a hurry, put dry items in with the wet one, it will speed up drying time.
Lose the beer fridge. An old inefficient fridge can use three times the energy of new one.
Let the ironing pile up. Iron large batches of clothing at one time to avoid wasting energy reheating the iron.
Think small. Small, efficient appliances like pressure cookers and electric frypans use only half the energy of standard ovens.
Installing solar will give your a household a headstart in your efforts to save energy!
