Take a look at where your energy goes. Understanding your usage can help you spot the best ways to save.

Always turn off lights, heating, and other devices when you're not using them. Unplug electronics to prevent them from draining power even when they're off or on stand-by.

Let natural light brighten your day and switch to energy-saving LED bulbs. Remember to turn off the lights when you leave a room—every little bit helps!

Choose energy-efficient appliances and turn them off at the wall when not in use.

In summer, keep your home cool by closing windows, doors, and curtains. Use fans instead of air conditioners, or set the AC to a comfortable 23-26°C. In winter, keep warmth in by shutting windows, doors, and curtains, and set your heating to a cozy 18-21°C.

Ensure good air circulation around your fridge and check the door seals. Keep your fridge at 3-4°C and your freezer at -15 to -18°C.

Use an electric frypan, pressure cooker, or microwave instead of the oven. Cover pots and pans to speed up cooking. Only run the dishwasher when it's full and choose energy-saving settings.

Set your water heater to a lower temperature of 60-65°C.

Wash clothes in cold water and only run full loads. Skip the dryer and hang clothes to dry instead. Install a low-flow showerhead to save water and energy.

Insulate your ceilings and walls to keep your home comfortable all year round.

Consider solar panels and a solar hot water system. These investments pay off big time!

When shopping for new appliances, go for the highest energy efficiency ratings. They might cost more initially but will save you money in the long run.
