THE 6 TOP ENERGY-SAVING TIPS FOR 2023
2
USE SMART HOME TECHNOLOGY
Smart lighting, for example, saves money because
you can control lights from anywhere. If youve
left one on during the day, you can turn it off
remotely using a smartphone. Lighting can even be
motion-sensor controlled, so the lights are never
on unless they need to be (i.e. when someone
walks into the room). The same goes for all types
of smart appliances.

INSTALL A SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM
Installing a solar energy system is an investment
in the long term. While there is a significant
upfront cost, a solar power system can lead to
massive energy savings. All of your energy needs
during daylight hours can come from free solar
energy, reducing energy bills each month.
4
INSULATE YOUR CEILING AND WALLS
Adding insulation to your home is easier than you
think. Your roof cavity is quite easily
accessible, and therefore its not hard to add
insulation batts up there to prevent heat from
escaping through the roof. With proper
ventilation, you can also prevent moisture
buildup in the roof cavity.
5
WEATHERSTRIP YOUR DOORS AND WINDOWS
Weatherstripping is a great way to save energy.
Its easy to add, and it can be removed without
damaging your doors or windows. This keeps drafts
from coming into your home through cracks between
the door frame and its surrounding trim. But it
also stops warm air from escaping your home. As
we mentioned above regarding insulation, when
your heating and cooling system doesnt need to
work as hard, it costs much less to run.
6
USE NATURAL LIGHT
Natural light is an excellent way to brighten up
your home and save money. Sunlight streaming in
through your windows helps warm your house in
winter, therefore saving money. Plus, you wont
need artificial lighting during the day, so there
are more savings. Skylights are a great way to
bring natural light into your home. They can be
installed in almost any room of the house, and
theyre an efficient way to bring natural light
into your home by using less electricity than
other types of lighting.
7
RUN COSTLY APPLIANCES DURING OFF-PEAK ENERGY
TIMES
Even if you dont have a solar installation, you
can still be smart about energy use. Washing
machines, dryers and dishwashers are notoriously
expensive to run. Check with your energy retailer
to find out when the peak and off-peak times are.
Electricity is cheaper in off-peak periods, so
this is the perfect time to run your expensive
appliances.
