Energy saving tips to lower your energy bills

4 home energy-saving upgrades to reduce energy bills

1) Upgrade to a newer gas storage water heater. Over the years, there have been remarkable advancements in hot water heater production. Considering that water heaters consume a significant portion, ranging from 14-25%, of all appliance energy in your home, upgrading to a newer gas storage water heater can lead to substantial energy savings. By making this upgrade, you could potentially save up to 30% on your annual energy consumption, making a noticeable difference in your energy bills.

2) Opt for more efficient refrigerators. Refrigerators are another appliance that have seen large increases in efficiency since 2000. In comparison to older models, the standard refrigerator now utilizes 40-60% less energy, resulting in substantial energy savings. Additionally, refrigerators with the freezer on top are even more efficient than side-by-side models.

3) Consider switching to front-loading washing machines. These machines use 50% less water and 37% less energy, making them a great choice for saving on both water and electricity bills.

4) Enhance window insulation with 3M™ All Season Window Film. 30% of all energy used to heat and cool homes in Australia escapes through the windows. However, you don’t need to completely replace your windows to start reaping the benefits from higher efficiency windows.
