We're giving you some simple tips to reduce your electricity costs and save money.

Replace Your Old Refrigerator and Freezer

Did you know that a new refrigerator or freezer uses 80% less electricity than one that's 15 years old? It's worth upgrading to a newer model that consumes less power.

Turn Off Digital Products on Standby

Turn off all home electronics, such as TVs, game consoles and computers, when they're on standby mode, as they still consume a significant amount of electricity.

Unplug Your Charger

A charger that's plugged in without a connected device also consumes electricity and can pose a fire hazard. Always unplug your charger when you're not using it, such as when charging your phone or laptop.

Replace Your Light Bulbs with LEDs

An LED light bulb only uses 20% of the electricity required by an incandescent bulb. Remember that a timer that automatically turns off lights can consume more electricity than the light itself, so avoid using these timers if you want to save on your electricity bill.

Adjust the Temperature of Your Floor Heating

If you have floor heating at home and it has a timer, lower the temperature when you're not at home and turn it on when you're in the room where the floor heating is located.
