Territorians use a lot of electricity due to our extreme climate.
For most households, air-conditioning makes up the largest portion of their electricity bill, especially during the hotter months.
Making a few small changes to your air conditioning usage will have a big impact on electricity bill:
- Set your aircon to between 24°C to 27°C and use your ceiling fan at the same time.
- Keep your filters clean so your aircon works efficiently.
- Turn it off when you go out
- Only cool the rooms you’re in and shut the doors of the rooms you’re not using.
