22.01.2022 Hi All, I attended an Energex forum last week and thought I might share an interesting cost saving offer they have at the moment. By connecting your pool pump to Tarrif 33 (off peak) Energex will give you a $250.00 gift card and you will save as much as 32% on your ongoing electricity bill. Give me a call for more info.

21.01.2022 ENERGY SAVING/GREEN TIP OF THE WEEK! This summer, set your air conditioner to an energy efficient 25 degrees. Every degree cooler can add around 10% to your overall aircon running costs. Also, don't forget to use ceiling fans on the cooler days and nights - air conditioners can cost as much as $1 per hour to run, compared to 1c per hour for ceiling fans. Every little bit helps to lessening the impact on your pocket and on the environment!

21.01.2022 ELECTRICITY PRICE RISE!! I thought i might try and explain the electricity price rise that has been all over the media the past week. The price for Tarrif 11 (normally what most of us are on) is currently capped at 25.378 c/kwh. This is set to increase by 22%, roughly 5 c/kwh which is to offset the cost to retailers for having the price set for the last 12 months. The increase also covers the cost of providing the Solar Feed in Tarrif of 40-50 c/kwh that those who have solar ...pannels. Is it just me or does that sound a bit wrong... These people have spent there money on the infrstructure to reduce the amount of electricity they use and are now being made to pay for it! For now it appears that it is going to happen so we all need to do what we can to reduce the impact the price rise will have on our daily lives. WINTER ENERGY SAVING TIPS: The most important thing to remember is that we pay for what we use! Think about your options before you switch on a heating appliance, particularly bar and oil heaters, which use significantly more power than a well maintained reverse cycle air conditioner. Heaters, electric blankets and long hot showers can add significantly to winter power bills. Power use can be reduced by simply putting on some warm clothing, adding a few blankets on the bed and blocking any drafts in your home, rather than using a heating appliance. For those who like to take the chill out of the air, a reverse cycle A/C unit set at 18-20 C is the most energy efficient way to warm a room. A good maintanence routine is essential for the efficient running of the A/C unit. Clean your filters in the indoor units now! ENERGY EFFICIENT CHECK LIST: Miniimise power usage during the day, this maximises the fed in capabilities of your solar system. A simple way to achieve this is to buy a 24hr plug in timer for your washing machine. Put the clothes in the machine the night before and set the timer to come on a couple of hours before you get up. That way the washing is done early in the day before the sun starts to generate its peak power throught your solar system and is ready to hang out before going about your daily business. Wear warm clothing or use more blankets when sleeping. Heat only the areas that you are in. Keep windows and doors closed and draw blinds to help keep the heat in. Consider insulating your home to stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Hope all this info helps to keep you warm this winter and some extra money in your pocket! Scott Maher

18.01.2022 GREEN TIP! Switch off and save! Turning off the lights when you leave a room can save you up to $120 a year - and you'll also stop 400kg of carbon pollution being released into the atmosphere.

13.01.2022 WATCH OUT FOR SCAMS!! Just read an article about dodgey solar energy installers that are telling people that they have to pay them to do a manditory "anti-islanding test". This test makes sure that your inverter shuts down when the mains supply to your house goes off. This is an inbuilt safety precaution that stops electricity being pumped into the grid when Energex workers have isolated the supply from the national grid. The Electrical Safety Act requires that once a solar system is installed, the owner or occupier is responsible for ensuring that it is working safely. You can do this test yourself by turning the Solar Main Switch off at your switchboard and checking that you inverter shuts down. IT'S THAT EASY!!! Do the test once a year and you will have met your obligations.

11.01.2022 For anyone considering a major renovation or new home! Contact us and ask us how future law changes with regards to appliances being allowed to be connected to off peak tariffs, could save you up to 30% off the individual running costs for that appliance.
