💡 Upgrade to LED Lighting

LEDs consume up to 75% less electricity and last longer than halogen or incandescent bulbs.

✨ Benefits:

  • Lower energy bills
  • Less heat output (safer)
  • Eco-friendly lighting

 

🛠️ Replace Worn Out Wiring

Outdated or damaged wiring poses serious fire and safety hazards. If your home is 20+ years old, it’s worth having your wiring checked.

⚠️ Warning signs:

  • Flickering lights
  • Tripped breakers
  • Discoloured outlets

📱 Install Smart Switches & Dimmers

Smart switches give you remote control over your lighting while dimmers adjust brightness to match your mood and save power.

🔋 Smart savings:

  • Lower power usage
  • Increased bulb lifespan
  • Enhanced lighting flexibility

 

🚿 Use Energy-Efficient Water Heating

Old water heaters can be power-hungry. Upgrading to an energy-efficient unit or installing a timer can help reduce running costs.

✅ Extra tip: Insulate your hot water pipes to retain heat longer!

🔌 Don’t Overload Outlets

Plugging too many devices into one socket increases the risk of overheating and fire.

💡 Tips:

  • Use power strips with surge protection
  • Spread appliances across outlets
  • Install more sockets if needed

 

🌐 Embrace Whole-Home Surge Protection

Lightning strikes, grid surges, or faulty appliances can destroy your electronics.

🛡️ Solution: Whole-home surge protection offers superior defense for your TVs, computers, and appliances.
