Price Proof Your Power Bill

Posted on by

On the 1st of July this year we will see two dramatic changes in the way electricity is delivered and also the amount in which we pay. Both of these have the ultimate effect of driving power bills higher, possibly beyond increases we have seen in previous years. 

So what are the changes?

The first change to come in is the well-publicized and debated impact of the Australia’s Carbon Tax. The whole premise behind the carbon tax is to cut the amount of carbon dioxide that is produced and released into to atmosphere in order to slow the ultimate effects on the environment and the overall consequences of climate change.

Whether you believe in the science or not one thing is for sure, every home and business will be subjected to a significant rise in electricity prices. So whether your bill is $500 or $5000, a further hit to the hip pocket needs to be calculated to combat the carbon tax. Continue reading “Price Proof Your Power Bill” »

3 Reasons You Must Change Your Pool Pump

Posted on by

As we experience our first ‘heat wave’ in a couple of years, it comes as no surprise that more people are jumping in their swimming pools to beat the heat.

But with the added temperature, higher usage and significantly more maintenance needed on the pool, it necessitates running the pool pump driving up your power bill. Combined with other summer power consumers like cooling and general refrigeration, this is now the best time to change your old pool pump to an energy efficient pool pump alternative and enjoy the benefits everyday in the years to come.

Here are three big reasons to look at your options -

1. Savings on your power bill – The latest technology in energy efficient pool pumps uses the advancement in magnetic drive motors to allow a fluctuation in water speed and circulation. This allows the user to run the pump at a low speed over a longer period of time rather then the old single speed pumps, which circulate the water at a high speed over a 6 to 8 hour time frame.

East vs West – Solar Direction Debate

Posted on by

As more people look to the skies for some reprieve of their power bills, many are finding they don’t quite have the right roof space for solar or are forced to choose either an east or west direction for installation.

We often get asked ‘Would you choose east or west?’ and it is met with an answer requiring more information. On each home there is a better side but it depends on all the other factors and circumstances for that property.
