EWON – The Energy & Water Ombudsman NSW has some tips to help.
Cold weather and higher power consumption often go hand-in-hand, and after months of running heaters, clothes dryers and electric blankets, high energy bills can come as a shock when they arrive in Spring. The July 1 energy price increase combined with quarterly billing also means that many households won’t see how charges add up for several months, so it’s important for consumers to act and think now.
With a little bit of planning and a few simple steps, households can make informed decisions about energy use that will help them to avoid bill shock and manage their account payments. You can help them access the information that empowers their decisions by referring them to EWON’s new online resource, Chill Your Winter Power Bill.
