Which areas of the home should be cleaned to maximise energy efficiency?

Sometimes dirt and dust can make things around the home work less efficiently.  

To prevent this and maximise energy efficiency in your home:

  • dust all electronics, especially fan areas of larger electronics, such as TVs and washing machines
  • keep dryer vents, lightbulbs and fridge coils clean  
  • keep fridge seals clean - this is especially important as refrigerators are one of the most energy consuming appliances in the whole home
  • keep your the fridge two thirds full to optimise energy usage.
