Return to ten things you can do

If you’re in the market for a new appliance like a washing machine, fridge or air conditioner then consider buying an energy or water efficient model.

They often cost a little more than standard appliances, but save you money in the long term through smaller bills.
Energy efficiency rating labels from zero to six stars help you determine the efficiency and running costs of different models. An improvement of only 1 star can mean savings of around ten percent on running costs.

Instead, for water efficient appliances look for as many A's as possible, to help Victoria go easy on this precious resource.
