Easy ways to save around your home

Set your aircon between 24˚C to 27˚C and use your ceiling fans. Every degree you lower your aircon can increase its running costs by up to 10%.
Replace any old globes you still have in your home with LEDs. They use around 80% less energy and last a whole lot longer.
Talk to the experts at your local pool shop about the optimal running time for your pump. Reducing it by just a few hours a day could save you up to $350 a year.
