Tips to help you save on your Energy Bills

Here at Scholz Electrical, we are passionate and committed to making the world a better place with a cleaner environment. We encourage anyone to contribute to thinking and acting more green. It will not only have a positive impact on your household budget but you will also notice positive changes to your health.

Of course, there are many ways you can go green - here are just a few simple ideas to get you started.

You should replace all incandescent bulbs and fluorescent bulbs with LED lights. Although we all know that incandescents consume too much energy - it is however not well known that fluorescent bulbs can be detrimental to the environment. They contain mercury and other dangerous metals which can be damaging to nature. LEDs are made from environmentally safe materials so they are a much better choice.

Of course, you should always turn off lights when you leave a room to avoid unnecessary consumption of electricity. In fact any unnecessary electrical consumption - like leaving your laptop or computer on sleep instead of turning it off and unplugging it will cost you in your power bills.

For those extra hot days when you feel the need to use your air conditioner, make sure that all of your doors and windows are closed and pull across curtains and blinds to maximise efficiency, It is also a good idea to have your air conditioner regularly serviced to maintain efficiency.
