Energy Saving Tips
- Put energy efficient light bulbs in the light fittings you use the most - they last longer and can save you about $100 per bulb over their lifetime.
- Install flow restrictors on your taps and shower-heads to cut your water heating bill.
- Fill gaps in your ceiling insulation.
- Fit weather-strips (for draughts and rain) on external doors.
- If your electric hot water cylinder is not A-Grade, install a cylinder wrap.
- Insulate hot water pipes - especially the meter nearest the hot water cylinder.
- Replace faulty seals on fridge-freezers and ovens.
- Block draughty air gaps around pipes and electrical cables with caulking.
- Use blinds and/or curtains to retain heat in winter and provide shade in summer.
- Install insulated skylights to maximise natural light and provide warmth
