Switch to energy-saving lighting

LEDs use up to 90% less energy and last up to 25 times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs.

Heat or cool immediate rooms

Instead of trying to heat or cool the entire house, focus on the rooms that are in use.

Switching off unused devices

Turn off unused devices (fans, lights, computers, air conditioners, consoles etc.) to ensure no energy is being wasted.

Check you are with the Best Energy Retailer

Each retailer will have various plans for different suburbs, but you can check what the best plan for you is here.

High Usage Timing

When needed, use your high energy consumption appliances late at night or when energy is off-peak and at its cheapest. If you have solar, run during the day when you're generating solar energy.

Invest in energy efficient appliances

When buying new appliances, check the number of stars indicating the efficiency rating, more is better. Removing an old second fridge could save you up to $250/yr.

There are multiple factors that individually make your payback period faster; higher energy prices making solar worth the initial cost, additional battery storage to take advantage of your renewable energy all day and night, and the use of Amber to take full advantage of your system by not only saving money, but turning your battery into a money-making ATM.
