We are helping communities to save money by progressively upgrading old streetlights across our network to LED lights. By doing the same thing in your home, you can save around 16 per cent on your annual lighting costs.
LED and compact fluorescent lights are efficient, provide good light quality and offer instant start up-times. Through the Victorian Energy Upgrades scheme, an accredited installer will upgrade the lighting in your home for free.
Close your curtains
In winter, close your blinds in the evening so warmth in your home doesn’t escape. In summer, keep rooms shaded from the sun and heat by closing your blinds.
Investing in quality curtains and blinds can also make a difference to your home’s ability to maintain temperature. Choose fabrics that insulate well, or curtains with thermal lining.
