Be energy conscious this holiday season

City Power would like to appeal to the community to use electricity sparingly this holiday season.

City Power would like to appeal to the community to use electricity sparingly this holiday season.

Residents are encouraged to follow these energy-saving tips:

  • Switch off your pool pump or geyser if you are going away on holiday
  • Insulate your geyser with a blanket or other insulating material to conserve energy consumption on a geyser
  • Infrared lights on appliances also consume electricity, switch them off at the wall socket
  • If you are going on holiday, ensure that your timer switch is in good working condition to switch your outside lights off during the day and on during the night
  • Switch off lights in unoccupied rooms and if you are going on holiday switch off the inside lights
  • How long will you be away for? Why not leave out perishables when grocery shopping so that you can switch your fridge off
  • An unoccupied house does not need to be warmed or cooled, remember to switch off the air conditioners, underfloor heaters and other appliances
  • Use the right appliances for the purpose – do not make toast in the oven and use a kettle for boiling water rather than a pot
  • Take a shower instead of a bath.
