Reduce your Heating and Cooling Costs

Did you know that every 1 degree change in thermostat temperature setting can add up to 10% to your heating or cooling costs?

In summer, setting your system to cool to 20 degrees or lower can place a lot of strain on your airconditioner - and on your back pocket! Try cooling to 27 degrees and use ceiling fans to provide additional air movement for comfortable living.

In winter, try heating to 20 degrees and put a few extra clothes on to fine tune your comfort.

Passive design features such as insulation, shading and the right size eaves can all assist in staying comfortable with minimal input from the A/C or heaters. Visit our tips for energy smart living page for more info.
