Energy efficiency is at the forefront of everyone’s mind. Doing your bit for the environment is going to have a positive impact on both the environment and your energy costs. Josco Energy share some top tips.
- Get a new energy supplier
There are likely a couple of different energy suppliers that charge various energy tariffs. So, be sure to shop around and check out the costs across various suppliers for the plan you’re using and change your commercial electricity supplier to the cheapest option.
In many cases, if you switch online, the new supplier may give you an online only exclusive rate. In other cases, they may even pay your previous supplier’s early exit fee.
- Take the lights off
If you’re not using a particular space or room, make sure that you turn off the lights. This can help you to save as much as $14 every year.
- Take off or unplug appliances you’re not using
Do you know that most appliances still use electricity even if you’re not using them, once they’re plugged into an electrical outlet? Even though it may not be best to turn off your major appliances, you should still unplug other appliances such as your phone, microwave, laptop etc when you’re not using them.
By simply switching off these appliances will save you lots of money and you can even save as much as $30 every year.
- Check your electricity bills
You should regularly look at your electricity bills to ensure that you’re not being overcharged. In the event that you have credit, be sure to ask for a refund.
- Utilize mostly LED bulbs

- Reduce heating

Instead of washing your clothes at 40 degree, simply lower it to 30 degrees. This small change can save you as much as $52 every year.
