Reducing Power in the home:

• Replace lights with fluorescents or LCD’s
• Turn off stand-by items at the power point
• Turn off appliances when not in use
• Don’t have fridge/freezer so cold; don’t have hot water so hot.
• When buying new items go for highest star rating
• When replacing hot water choose solar or instantaneous gas.
• Adapt your home rather than using air conditioners /heaters
