Cut down your power bill this autumn!

Electric Kiwi

See our 5 top tips for cutting down your autumn power bill:

1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.

See our 5 top tips for cutting down your autumn power bill:

1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.

2. Change your cooking habits: Eat fresh veges instead of cooking. Using the oven for an hour a night can add $20 to your monthly power bill.

3. Use curtains to trap heat in: Let the sun heat your home during the day then close your curtains to stop the warmth escaping in the evening.

4. If you’re away, turn the hot water cylinder off: You can save up to $36 on your power bill if you switch your hot water cylinder off while away on weekends.

5. Make the most out of your FREE Hour of Power: Utilise power deals like Electric Kiwi’s free Hour of Power, which gives you one off peak hour of free power a day. Use this hour to heat your home, turn on the dishwasher, or run the washing machine and dryer.

The Rotary Club of Pohutukawa Coast will be hosting an interest meeting on Tuesday 4th March, 6.30pm at Pepperjacks in Pine Harbour.

The meeting will be a chance to network and chat with others and find out a bit about Rotary. Nibbles will be provided and there will be a cash bar.

It's a chance to hear what Rotary has to offer in the Pohutukawa Coast. Here's why you should be involved:

- Make a difference, raise funds for those in need, locally and globally
- You can achieve so much more working in a team rather than as an individual
- Make personal lifelong friendships across the community
- Develop your own talents, take ownership and gain experience running projects and performing roles
- Membership of an organisation such as Rotary commands respect, ensuring sure your Rotary voice is heard

We would love to see you there!

Regards
Alex Garden
