- Adjust the thermostat of your geyser at home to the 55 degree celsius to 65 degree celsius range.
- Water heating makes up most of your electricity bill (generally about 30 – 40 %). By taking a shower instead of a bath you will use less hot water.
- Where possible, install insulation between the ceiling and the roof to ensure that your home remains cool in summer and warm in winter.
- Swimming pool pumps can account for a large percentage of a home’s electricity consumption. REduce the pool pump operating time to the minimum necessary for keeping your pool clean.
- Do not overfill your refrigerator or freezer.
- Do not set the freezer temperature lower than necessary.
- Do not open the fridge door unnecessarily.
- Do not put hot food into the refrigerator.
- Make sure that the seal around the door is not broken.
- Empty and switch off or defrost the fridge before taking an extended holiday.
