See our 5 top tips for cutting down your autumn 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.

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.

If you did something with your neighbours and get a sudden urge to share it with us then don't fight that urge!! Share your story with us by emailing kiaora@neighboursday.org.nz, sharing to our facebook page, or submitting your story on our website. We LOVE seeing all the fun times and knowing that we're getting a little closer to knowing our neighbours and connecting with our communities. AND you don't have to wait till Neighbours Day 2018 to do it again. You can go say hi, invite them for a cuppa, or do a street bbq anytime. It makes a massive difference to our sense of belonging, safety and being part of a more resilient community.
