How to cut down your power bill!

Electric Kiwi

As we head in to winter, check out these 5 top tips for cutting down your power bill:

1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.

As we head in to winter, check out these 5 top tips for cutting down your power bill:

1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.

2. Change your cooking habits: Eat fresh veges instead of cooking. Using the oven for an hour a night can add $20 to your monthly power bill.

3. Use curtains to trap heat in: Let the sun heat your home during the day then close your curtains to stop the warmth escaping in the evening.

4. If you’re away, turn the hot water cylinder off: You can save up to $36 on your power bill if you switch your hot water cylinder off while away on weekends.

5. Make the most out of your FREE Hour of Power: Utilise power deals like Electric Kiwi’s free Hour of Power, which gives you one off peak hour of free power a day. Use this hour to heat your home, turn on the dishwasher, or run the washing machine and dryer.

“Free” Parking

Today is the last day for submissions for the “Free” Parking proposal in Central City.
Do you support subsidising businesses in the CBD?
The touted $26 is not a flat rate; it is an addition (increase) to Access Hamilton which is calculated by capital value multiplied by 0.000251. Higher the CV the more you pay.
The “Free” parking proposal is in direct contrast/conflict with the District Plan, the 10 Year Plan and the Central City Transformation Plan. It completely undermines the spirit of these plans.
It is also diametrically opposed to both to the Parking Management Plan and the Active Travel Action Plan with their focus on cycling walking and busing, and is even contradicts the 2017/18 Annual Plan (its own source document).
Council has promised (and documented) rates certainty by 3.8% annual increase for 10 years, this fly’s in the face of that promise. Council’s credibility is at stake and ratepayers will lose trust and are undermining their own credibility, ratepayers no longer believe statements from Council.

“Free” Parking

Submissions close this Sunday 7th May 2017 for the “Free” Parking proposal in Central City.
Do you support subsidizing businesses in the CBD?
The touted $26 is not a flat rate; it is an addition (increase) to Access Hamilton which is calculated on the capital value (CV) of the property. Higher the value the more you pay.
Choice and consequence: those who choose to shop in the central city, the consequences are the availability and cost to park. That is the individual’s choice.
There is no such choice for those who choose (or unable or do not have a car) not to shop in the CBD and the consequence is you still pay (effectively to subsidise businesses in the CBD).
“Free” Parking failed to revitalise or bring people into the CBD in Lower Hutt, Porirua, New Plymouth or Rotorua.
A mobile app is proposed to notify motorists of available parking spaces.
Isn’t using a mobile while driving against the law?
