Shift loads to off-peak hours. Running appliances overnight or on weekends cuts your per-kWh cost by over 60%. Use timer functions on washing machines, dishwashers, and EV chargers.
Optimise heating and cooling. Heating and Cooling typically accounts for 35–40% of a household bill. Setting your thermostat to 18–20°C in winter and 24–26°C in summer can reduce this category by up to 30%.
Check for standby drain. Devices left on standby can account for 5–10% of total consumption. Use smart power strips or unplug devices when not in use.
Enable usage alerts. Setting a mid-cycle alert at 60–70% of your typical monthly spend gives you time to adjust behaviour before the bill arrives.
Review your plan. If your usage is consistently low or heavily off-peak, a different plan structure may save you money. Use the Compare Plans option on your Account page to explore alternatives.
