Don’t let your power bills get out of hand during winter!

Matt from

With winter settling in across the country, many of us will be turning on the heater, taking longer showers and leaving our lights on a little longer, sending our power bills soaring.

You don’t have to choose between freezing or paying higher bills though. Here are a few simple steps you can … View more
With winter settling in across the country, many of us will be turning on the heater, taking longer showers and leaving our lights on a little longer, sending our power bills soaring.

You don’t have to choose between freezing or paying higher bills though. Here are a few simple steps you can take to cut down your winter power bills. 

Get to know what products use the most energy around your home.
The microwave is one of the most common culprits for draining excess energy when not in use. Simply switching it off when you’re not using it can help you save some dollars.

Once you’ve identified the culprits around the home, switch them off or swap them out for more energy efficient options. 

Before you reach for the heater, try warming up with extra blankets or keeping your home closed up when the temperature drops.

If your floors are tiled or you have wooden floor boards, consider investing in rugs.

When you do switch on the heater, make sure it’s energy efficient and you’ve closed all of the windows, blinds and doors.

If you’re only planning on using the one room, close that off. Limiting the heat to just one room means you’ll use less energy overall.

We sat down with good friends, Raewyn and Christine, to hear about life at The Bayview. Turns out, they go way back.

We sat down with good friends, Raewyn and Christine, to hear about life at The Bayview. Turns out, they go way back.

“Both of us were in Whangamata when we were younger.” Raewyn tells us. “We didn’t know we were there together. It’s so lovely to have found out now. We do enjoy each other’s company and I would do anything for her.”

She goes on to explain how they fill the day together. “Morning coffee and exercise, a social drink with our barman, or sausage sizzles on a Friday. Sometimes we gather around the piano for a singsong.”

Christine nods along smiling as she reflects on the great location of The Bayview. “It’s only four minutes to town and my son’s house and there’s three supermarkets – it’s really convenient.” Raewyn adds, “Plus it’s so quiet you wouldn’t believe you’re in the middle of the city.”

Brand new apartments are available now. Call Trudi today, on 0800 333 688 to book a visit and see what all the fuss is about.
