The most important part of Energy Saving is Management and to manage you must know exactly what you are using at all times and why.

The team at  A U Sparky can help you save money on your power bill, by doing this you will also reduce CO2 emissions released into the environment.

Saving money will help you save the environment.

With the following ideas you will be able to choose energy saving products and take simple steps to get the most out of your electricity provider.

With so many changes to the electricity market it is more important than ever to look at how efficiently we use our electricity and to discover new ways to reduce consumption, save money and help the environment.

Using specialised energy downloadable or internet connected monitors, can assist you in determining areas to address.

The areas you can best save electricity are in Lighting, Motor control, Heating and Cooling.

There are also Home Energy Management Systems you can use to reduce power usage.

Lighting can account for a large portion of your electricity bill. This can be one of the easiest areas to save money on your bill. Having efficient lighting can do the most to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

You should make sure you have enough light switches this gives you the flexibility and control over all lighting, and automate where you can.

Some great ideas are:

• Energy efficient lighting – Changing light fittings to types that use energy efficient fluorescent lamps or LED Technology can dramatically reduce power usage and heat.
• Dimmers - They can save you money, by reducing the brightness of the globe. When you reduce the brightness you use less energy to run it. You can connect groups of lighting to a dimmer as well for even greater efficiencies. You can save up to $4.00 per globe per year; also you will reduce your energy usage of 175kWh to 26kWh per year.
• Timer Switches - These are a very effective way to save money, they do all the work for you. Timer switches are particularly useful in very busy areas. Once you turn the light on it will automatically turn off after a pre-set time. Timer switches can save you up to $2.70 per globe per year. Timer switches can also reduce your energy usage from 22kWh to 18kWh per year. You can also have light/fan combination timers. These are great for toilets and bathrooms whether it be for domestic use or commercial use.
• Outdoor and Indoor Infrascans - Outdoors infrascans keep your lighting costs to a minimum by using infrared technology. The infrascans will only react to heat movement so that you only use lights when needed, these lights are ideal for carports, near front doors, or in the back garden. Indoor Infrascans are just as effective. Hallways, stairs, pantries and other rooms that are used for short periods of time can be lit for preset times. This means no more forgetting to turn lights off and no more nagging from your family to 'turn the lights off'. The Infrascan can do it for you instead. By installing an infrascan you can save up to $127.00 per year per globe, not only that you will reduce your energy usage from 1000 kWh to 848 kWh per year.
• Sunset Switches - The sunset switch operates by using a light sensor to switch the light on once the natural light drops to a certain level. The sunset switch is great because it adjusts to seasonal changes, some switches have inbuilt timers which make them even more energy efficient. You can save up to $16.00 per year per globe and you can reduce total energy usage of 109kWh per year.
• Time clock units - are another energy saver, they can be used for general lighting, fountain pumps, pool pumps and much more. These work by switching power off at preset times.
• Ceiling insulation – isolating the heat in the roof cavity stops the ceiling surface from turning into a heater that your fans and air conditioners distribute through your house costing more to cool.
• Pool motor controllers – Motor controllers can dramatically reduce your running costs for your pool pump and filters, increase efficiency of your filter to require less maintenance and reduce noise.

Heating and cooling are such a large part of our electricity bill that it would be of great benefit to reduce power usage. Small things such as your insulation, keeping windows closed, weather stripping around doors and making sure thermostat settings are not to high or too low are simple ways you can save on electricity usage.

There some electrical products which can further enhance these ideas, such as exhaust fans, ceiling fans and roof fans. All of them help by gently moving air trapped near the ceiling and circulating around the rest of the room. Roof fans can draw hot air from a building’s roof and exhausting it into the outside atmosphere. With this hot air expelled your air conditioner can operate more efficiently therefore reducing running costs. A ceiling fan can save you up to $230.00 per year and a roof fan can save you up to $68.00 per year.

There are a lot of great automation products that have the potential to save money and make your life easier; this can be a big advantage in our busy lifestyles.
