Use less energy on your homes hot water.
Household hot water accounts for 25% of home electricity usage on average. This will vary depending upon where you live in your country.
Here are some ways to use less energy:
- Showers are frequently responsible for the majority of hot water usage in a home. Switching from a high flow inefficient shower-head to a 3 star rated shower-head can reduce this use by half.
- The less hot water you use showering or bathing, the less you need to heat. A short (four minute) shower is a good shower and a good bath is one you have only occasionally!
- Remember to turn your hot water unit off if you’re going away for an extended period to save wasting energy maintaining set thermostat temperatures.
