When you’re going to use an appliance, it is better to ask yourself whether there’s a lower energy choice you might be using? Here is a few more tips, summarised in the Iselect website, for conserving electricity in your appliances:

  • Dry your clothes on the line since there’s not any lack of sunlight in Queensland!
  • When you’ve got another refrigerator, only turn it on if it is needed and set the refrigerator’s temperature to between 3 degrees and 5 degrees. For freezers, place them between -15 degrees and -18 degrees. If they’re put any lower than that and you’ll use around 5 percent more energy.
  • Check if your refrigerator door is sealed correctly by putting a strip of paper between the door and the refrigerator. If the paper can be pulled out easily, it may be time to get a new seal.
  • Turn off tiny appliances, like kettles and toasters, once you’re not using them.
  • Attempt to do your ironing in massive batches — that way you won’t waste energy heating and reheating your iron every time. Just make sure that the dishwasher is full before you place a load on.
