With rising electricity prices in New Zealand, smart energy usage is essential for cutting down on costs. A significant portion of household electricity consumption comes from appliances, making their efficient use key to lowering bills.

To begin with, larger appliances, such as heat pumps, water heaters, and fridges, typically use the most electricity. Water heating alone can account for nearly 30% of the average Kiwi household’s energy consumption. Reducing shower times and using cold water for laundry can make a noticeable difference. Additionally, setting your hot water cylinder to 60°C for water heating strikes a balance between energy efficiency and comfort.

Fridges and freezers are also significant energy consumers. Make sure the seals are tight, and keep the units stocked without overloading them. Regular maintenance, such as dusting off refrigerator coils, improves efficiency.

Other high-use items include electric stoves, dryers, and washing machines. Consider switching to energy-efficient models, marked by the Energy Star rating. Small adjustments, like air-drying clothes or using your washing machine with full loads, can reduce energy usage.

Lastly, turning off electronics like TVs and computers when not in use, rather than leaving them on standby, can result in savings over time. Embracing these energy-saving habits can help manage electricity costs and contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle.
