Some eye-opening facts about the silent energy guzzlers in our homes. Ever wonder where your electricity goes? Let's break it down, Kiwi-style!

Brian from Mount Roskill

Heating Water (27%)💧: Believe it or not, nearly a third of your energy bill takes a warm dive. That's right – heating water is a major player in the power game.

Electronic Devices (20%)🔌: Your gadgets, from TVs to laptops, are not just entertaining; they're also energy munchers. They take up a cool fifth of your electricity usage.

Fridges and Cool Appliances (17%)🧊: Chillin' comes at a cost! Keeping things cool in your fridge and other appliances sips up a good chunk of your power, around 17%.

Keeping Warm (15%)🔥: It's not just the heater; keeping your home toasty takes up a significant share, around 15%. Snuggle blankets, anyone?

Lighting (13%)💡: Let there be light, but let's be wise about it. Lighting makes up around 13% of your electricity usage.

Cooking (5%)🍳: Fire up the stove! Cooking accounts for about 5% of your power usage. Time to get creative with those energy-efficient recipes.

Drying Clothes (3%)👕: Tumble, tumble, tumble – drying clothes takes a small but noticeable slice, around 3%, of your total energy usage.

Knowing where your power goes is the first step to keeping those bills in check. So, next time you flick the switch or turn on the kettle, remember these facts – your wallet will thank you!

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Freehold, renovated, future potential

Swechha from Mount Roskill

Hi everyone, we thought we’d share this here in case you, or someone you know, is looking for a lovely 2-bedroom freehold home in Blockhouse Bay. This has been our investment property for many years, and we’ve recently put a lot of care into preparing it for its next owners, including a brand-new kitchen, new flooring, and fresh paint inside and out. Set on a freehold section of around 560m², it offers a generous lawn, a new veggie garden, and future potential to add a cabin or sleepout. We truly hope it becomes a place where new memories are made.

For viewings, please contact Piyush and Manali Setia at Ray White Blockhouse Bay - 021 2363 854:
