Hi neighbours - Taupō's Garry McCarthy has spent his working life in power stations, and has now applied his technical expertise to slashing his power bill.

His bill for July was $22.25, and was as low as $14 in summer. He installed eight PV panels on the roof, double-glazing, upgraded the log fire which has a wetback, and only uses LED energy efficient bulbs. He even bounces the light from a stand of small five watt lamps off the white ceiling instead of using ceiling lights.

What tips and tricks do you use to keep your power bill at a minimum?
