Only pay for the electricity and water that you use

26 Jun 2007

There are many simple ways you can reduce your use of electricity and water that can save you significant sums of money.

Did you know that your cable television connection is one of the biggest users of standby power? Turn it off at the wall when not in use.

Turn on your hot water booster an hour before shower time and you can save hundreds of dollars on your electricity bill.

Raise the air conditioner thermostat by 2 degrees and your annual electricity bill will be hundreds of dollars less.

Turn off all appliances at the wall when not in use – and again you can potentially save hundreds of dollars.

It’s also simple to cut water use and cost around the home.

Mulch your gardens and water in the evening or before work. Instead of hosing your driveway and paths sweep them.

Check and fix leaking taps. Switch to dual flush toilets and water efficient showerheads. Turn off your tap when brushing your teeth. Use your dishwasher and washing machine when they are full.

These are just some of the many ways you can ensure your Power and Water bill reduces over the coming year, and that you only pay for what you are actually using.
