Heating tips

• Where possible zone your home by closing doors and windows to the areas being heated, and close curtains at night to help keep the heat inside.
• Use a correctly sized heater. Don't expect a small heater to heat a large area. It is unlikely to reach a comfortable temperature, making running costs unnecessarily high without providing adequate heat.
  Similarly, try not to use a large heater when only a small area needs heating.
• Set any thermostat temperature as low as possible. You should still feel warm enough at around 18°C. Each 1°C decrease of the thermostat setting will save around 10% of heating energy needed.
• The use of a fan on a heater results in better heat distribution. Therefore using a fan on your heater will allow you to set a lower heat setting, whilst maintaining comfort levels and using less energy.
• Maintain your heater. Keep reflectors shiny and dust free, and clean air filters regularly. Service all heaters according to the manufacturers instructions.

Cooling tips

• For insulation to be effective in summer, it must be used in conjunction with good window shading. Consider verandahs, pergolas and fixed shade/awning treatments. Ideally these shading devices should be designed to allow sun entry into north facing windows in winter, and totally shade all windows in summer.
• Delay switching on your air conditioner on a hot day by keeping all windows and doors shut, closing curtains/blinds and closing off rooms likely to become overheated eg. sun rooms and sleepouts
• Fans are relatively inexpensive. They generally have low running costs, and while they do not cool the air they can reduce the need to switch on other higher energy consuming appliances and systems.
• Set any thermostat temperature as high as possible. You should still feel cool enough at around 25 o C. Each 1 o C increase of the thermostat setting will save around 10% of cooling energy needed.
• The low speed fan setting should be sufficient to cool your home. Only use the high setting in extreme conditions.
• Regularly clean cooling appliances and systems, keeping filters, coils and fans free of dust
