Not every device is energy efficient. Hot water systems, pool pumps, underfloor heating and EV chargers all use enormous amounts of energy and can increase your energy costs. A controlled load tariff can help you save money on your electricity bill.
A controlled load is a special type of electricity rate, or tariff, for high-energy appliances offered by some electricity providers. Usually, these appliances are wired to their own circuits and have their own meters, seperate from the rest of your household’s electricity supply. That way, your electricity provider can bill appliances with controlled load tariffs separately and often at a lower rate than the rest of your usage.
Because controlled loads are separate and don’t need a constant power supply, electricity can be supplied for a limited number of hours each day at a very low cost. And if you have solar, controlled loads can now be set up to soak up solar energy production through the day!
Electricity usage monitoring is another great way to start lowering your energy bill. If you would like to start making better energy choices, get your energy usage monitored with PowerAudit by visiting PowerAudit.com.au or by clicking the link in our bio.
