Appliances
- Turn off electrical appliances (computers, TVs, DVD players) overnight and when not in use.
- When purchasing new appliances buy a high star rated model to save energy and water. The more stars the more savings! Find out more about energy ratings.
- If you have time-based billing, use dishwashers, washing machines or dryers during off peak times to save money (after 10pm and before 7am).
- Wait until you can wash with full loads rather than washing small loads frequently.
- Dry your washing on the clothes line rather than using a drier as often as possible.
- Program the computer to have a blank screen when idle as screensavers will not reduce energy use.
