There are little things you can do now to keep your house cool or warm.
Making small changes can help you use less energy and lower your power bills.
- Use curtains or blinds on windows that are exposed to direct sunlight so that you lessen the amount of sun entering your home, keeping your home cooler.
- Set your air-conditioner between 24–26°C in summer and 18–20°C in winter for the best balance between comfort and efficiency.
- Close doors and turn off or adjust your air-conditioner when leaving home to save energy, and avoid cooling empty spaces.
- Use natural light during the day instead of turning on lights.
- Switch to LED lightbulbs – they use less power and last much longer than regular ones.
- Wash clothes in cold water and wait until you have a full load before using the washing machine.
- Dry clothes on the line instead of using the dryer, if possible
- Check your fridge seals, if air is escaping, your fridge works harder and uses more power.
- Turn off and unplug devices to save power when they’re not in use.
- Use a power board with an on/off switch to make it easy to turn off multiple devices at once.
