With electricity power charges on the rise people are becoming more aware about their high power bill. In Australian homes the most energy that house hold appliances use is consumed by air conditioners. It doesn’t matter if you have split systems, ducted or electric. They all use a great deal of power. Some other forms of cutting your electricity bill are energy efficiency lighting. Here are some ways to reduce your power bills.
Air conditioner unit temperature
Setting your air conditioner too cool or hot will feel great but can greatly increase in the power bill we recommend 21 degrees as the ideal AC temperature.

Close unwanted areas
When using air-conditioners close off areas that you don’t need to be in. Split Systems are great because they work quickly and efficiently to cool or heat a particular area. So close the doors and windows to stop letting your conditioned air escape. We recommend replacing old worn out exhaust fans with new ones that have draft stoppers built in too.
Energy efficient downlights.
If you have down lights that were installed before 2014 chances are you might have the halogen type and not LEDs. Halogen down lights cost a lot to run compared with newer LED technology. Even if they are only a few years old its best to still swap them over. This is because LED lights don’t have such a high fire risk and use a great deal less power to run. For example changing the downlights in your kitchen and lounge with our LED downlights (7 years warranty) can reduce your power bill so much that in less than 2 years it would have paid off the installation cost and now be saving you money each day.
