Winter is Coming - 5 Smart Ways to Cut Your Power Bills Before It Hits

Colder weather is on its way, and for most households that means one thing: higher power bills. But it doesn’t have to.

Here are five simple ways to get ahead of the winter spike.

1. Seal the Leaks

Check windows and doors for drafts. A few dollars on weather strips or window insulation film can cut your heating loss by up to 30%.

2. Switch to Off-Peak Usage

If your provider offers time-of-use pricing, shift high-usage activities (like laundry) to off-peak hours to save.

3. Set Your Heating Smartly

Every degree over 20°C adds 10% to your heating bill. Use programmable thermostats to only heat when you need it.

4. Service Your Appliances

Clean heat pump filters and check your hot water temperature. These small tweaks can make a big difference.

5. Compare Your Plan

This one’s easy. If you haven’t checked your energy plan in over a year, you’re likely overpaying. Use our free Bill Check to compare offers and lock in a better deal before winter hits.

Don’t let winter blow out your bills.

Compare your plan now and stay warm for less.
