Become a fan of energy efficiency

With a very hot summer forecast, you can stay cool without your power bills – and our carbon pollution – ballooning.

Did you know that summer electricity use is likely to exceed winter use for the first time in NSW?

Keeping air conditioning a few degrees warmer (23 degrees or higher is best), closing doors to only cool rooms you are using and closing blinds to stop hot sun coming in, can save $100 and 10,000 black balloons. Average NSW homes produce 160,000 black balloons of carbon pollution a year; thousands during summer.

Did you know that using a fan instead of an air conditioner can slash your power bill by $110 each year and reduce carbon pollution by 550kg?
