Cut down your power bill this autumn!

Electric Kiwi

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.

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.

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.

Hi neighbours,
So the Crankworx mountain bike festival is currently on in Rotorua.
Rotorua Lakes Council last year announced that it would provide $75,000 a year for Crankworx Rotorua for the next five years saying the event boosted the local economy by at least $8 million.
So we want to know what you think of this.
Do you think the council should be spending rate payers money on events like Crankworx?
