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.
