Energy Efficiency Tips

There are a number of things to consider when buying a new appliance or system for your home. We've put together a quick checklist to help you choose the most suitable energy efficient accessories for your home.

  • Choose appliances with a high "star" energy rating as they are more efficient. The more stars an appliance has, the less energy it uses.
  • Choose appliances or systems with a programmable timer and thermostat.
  • Before buying new appliances, research and compare products online to see how energy efficient they are. You can compare product types and brands online through the government site www.energyrating.gov.au
  • Some state government websites provide a summary of appliance running costs (per hour), this can help you select the most appropriate appliance for your needs.
  • Make sure you buy an appliance that is suitable for your household size and won't use more energy than you need.
  • When choosing an appliance, check that it is suitable for your local climate. Some appliances work more effectively depending on the climate.
