How to cut down your power bill!

Electric Kiwi

As we head in to winter, check out these 5 top tips for cutting down your power bill:

1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.

As we head in to winter, check out these 5 top tips for cutting down your power bill:

1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.

2. Change your cooking habits: Eat fresh veges instead of cooking. Using the oven for an hour a night can add $20 to your monthly power bill.

3. Use curtains to trap heat in: Let the sun heat your home during the day then close your curtains to stop the warmth escaping in the evening.

4. If you’re away, turn the hot water cylinder off: You can save up to $36 on your power bill if you switch your hot water cylinder off while away on weekends.

5. Make the most out of your FREE Hour of Power: Utilise power deals like Electric Kiwi’s free Hour of Power, which gives you one off peak hour of free power a day. Use this hour to heat your home, turn on the dishwasher, or run the washing machine and dryer.

This concerns not only our neighbouring suburbs but everyone who visits our beautiful part of the city.
It is important to have your say about where this Mega facility goes and Denton Park is not the place!
Yes we want it, yes we need it but .... Not only is the mall and surrounding shops cramped … View more
This concerns not only our neighbouring suburbs but everyone who visits our beautiful part of the city.
It is important to have your say about where this Mega facility goes and Denton Park is not the place!
Yes we want it, yes we need it but .... Not only is the mall and surrounding shops cramped and bottlenecked, with a lack of car parking .... Denton Park is a place for sport and community events.
