- Pool filters - cut the hours by half in winter. Keep it clean, filter less.
- Second fridges -keep the grill dust free and don’t cool to much beer and soft drink.
- Oil column heaters - these devices are glacier melters. If you have a couple of these think about an alternative.
- Leaving your computer on 24×7 - this takes down a lot more electricity over a year than I realised. In reflection, a computer should only take a minute to boot and the fresh boot feeling should pick you up those lost seconds.
- Electric hot water - this is one of the biggest and most ignored. Lower your hot water temperature setting. If you always need to add a lot of cold to your hot bath then it’s too hot. Change to off-peak if you haven’t already. Better still, supplement/convert to solar.
