Energy | 130+ easy ways to save on electricity and gas

Penina Petersen by Penina Petersen

Reading Time: 6 mins read
5 smart storage solutions for your new home    (6)

It is easy to save energy around the home with a few instant tips from the Savings Room! We live busy lives rushing in and out of our homes straddling bags, tablets, phones, kid’s bags, keys and coffee cups. When we get home we’re tired. We might need to refresh by taking an extra shower and throwing washing on to stay ahead of things. In the process lights get left on and pots boil for longer than they should.

In winter, when it is freezing, most of us would rather spend the money on heating than throw an extra jumper on and battle the cold. When we go to bed we’re still tired. We might not have the energy or headspace to remember to turn appliances off at the power point.

But all these little habits add up over time and it is really just a matter of developing good habits for the purpose of saving big on electricity and gas.

Aussie homes spend roughly 5% of their weekly income on gas and electricity. The ABS Household Energy Consumption Survey states that the average Australian spends an average of $39 on household gas and electricity. In the colder parts of the country the average is higher with Victorians spending $45 and Tasmanians spending $44.

So where exactly are we are spending our money?

We’re spending 38% of that turning on heaters and air conditioners. We are spending 7% on our fridge and 7% on lighting our homes. Cooking takes up 4% of that figure with other appliances taking up 16%. Finally heating water in our homes takes up a whopping 25% of our spend on utilities.

With energy putting such a dent in our coffers, I decided to write a big list on how to save as much energy as possible. I thought it would be handy to have a quick list I could put up somewhere in my home to remind all of us (myself and my family members!) how to save money on electricity and gas.

Need even more motivation for saving energy?

Paste your last gas or electricity bill on the fridge and note on it what you would rather spend that money on! Money is always a great motivator when we see how much we are spending and what we might be missing out on.

There are many big and small actions we can take in terms of electricity and gas. We can dry laundry in already heated rooms instead of turning the dryer on in winter. We can adopt a bedtime energy check and go around the house turning stuff off. I do a security check at night, so I’ve added our energy check to my little list of to-dos. If you live in a dark house, there is always the tendency to turn lights on during the day. Try and avoid this action at all costs. Switching lights on is a habit, so make a habit of switching them off too! Reap the savings!


Drumroll….

Here’s the money-saving list!

Energy | 130+ easy ways to save on electricity and gas
