Energy management

Electricity’s the juice on which so many of our favourite things run these days. Lights, heating and cooling, computers, microwaves, refrigerators… And while it’s not always easy to make a direct connection, each little bit of electricity we use has to be generated somehow, and will also incur a cost.

Because electricity prices continue to ascend into oblivion – and because more of us are starting to generate our own electricity, energy management’s becoming something of an artform. Knowing how to manage energy around your home can make a tremendous difference to your consumption, and in the process may even save you a small fortune.
