Bright sparks lower energy use As stated by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, households are becoming smarter in the way they use electricity. According to the latest available figures (2015-16) energy consumption
per household reduced by six per cent over figures recorded a decade earlier.
The reduction in usage comes despite the prevalence of chargers for a plethora of mobile devices including smart phones, tablets and bluetooth accessories, driven by our need to be continuously connected and entertained. With summer now a distant memory, we’re no longer reaching for the air conditioning remote control to offer reprieve from searing heat. But heading into the cooler months – the chilled winds of winter are only a month away – it’s worthwhile reviewing tips on how to keep the quarterly electricity bills under control. 1. Unplug appliances at the source: If you’re not going to be using an appliance for more than 30 minutes, unplugging it at the source is the surest and most cost-effective solution. 2. Plug appliances into a power board: Using a power board means you can easily switch off a number of appliances when you’re leaving the house, while sleeping, or going on holiday. 3. Consider investing in FutureSwitch clever plugs: These sit between your appliances and the mains socket and are controlled by a wireless remote for convenient shutdown of power to all devices. Easy to install (no electrician required) and easy to operate. 4. Select energy efficient appliances: Large models use more energy than small ones with the same star rating. The energy label will provide information about the kWh (units of electricity) dispensed yearly. Select appliances that are the right size for you. 5. Plug cube-shaped transformers into a power board: Power transformers such as those found on phone chargers, electronics and computers use a lot of standby power when plugged into the wall; instead plug them into power boards that can be switched off.

Get prepared to ward of the winter worries It wasn’t so long ago that we were all returning to work following the Christmas and New Year breaks, having lapped up the rays of a brilliant summer. That’s why it sounds unbelievable to be contemplating the return of winter next month. Our homes – regardless of their age – are susceptible to the changes in seasons. Many of us will be heading to our GP’s for the flu jab this month in readiness for winter, so why not think about what our homes need to prepare for the cold? Mould Mould can arise from a number of issues, and one of the most common is from blocked gutters causing leaks in ceilings. Have your roof gutters cleaned regularly and inspected for damage. If repairs are needed, don’t delay and make sure you keep an eye out for water stains after storms that may indicate a leak.
Make ventilation your friend It’s natural to try and keep the cold out during winter. But as temperatures drop, moisture can gather on walls, windows, window sills and floors. The bathroom is a regular gathering place for mould, especially if extractors don’t work optimally. To increase circulation, open doors between rooms, move furniture away from walls, and open doors to closets that may be colder than the rooms they’re in. Mop up the wet Seepage into below ground floors after rain, overflow from pipes and even spillage onto carpets should be dried within 24 to 48 hours. If you’ve experienced a flood, remove water-damaged carpets, bedding, and furniture if they can’t be completely dried. Even everyday occurrences need attention: don’t leave wet items lying around the house, and make sure to dry the floor and walls after a shower.
Check the kitchen ceiling The kitchen is the activity hub of the house with moisture, fumes and smoke being generated from breakfast through to dinner time. Even though it may not be evident to the naked eye, there are a lot of fumes and residual material which ends up on the kitchen ceiling and walls. Make sure the kitchen is winter ready by mixing a small amount of mild dishwashing detergent or white vinegar in a bucket of warm water and gently scrubbing with a sponge, using only a minimum amount of water (not enough to drip). Of course, if you notice any discoloration or streaking occurs, stop this process.
Storage solutions - brought to you by Storage Compare Moving is stressful enough without having to also sell or relocate your furniture. Most of us leave it to the last minute and end up selling our possessions for a lot less than what they’re worth! There always comes a time when you’ll need to find somewhere to place possessions whilst you’re in the moving process. You may be having a new child and need to store old furniture before you set up the baby’s room when you’re moving into a larger home. Maybe you’ve retired and are downsizing, but don’t want to let go of precious heirlooms that have been passed down from generation to generation. Perhaps you just don’t want to part with certain furniture in case you may want to bring it back in the future? Whilst Sydney alone is growing at a phenomenal rate, across Australia there are over 2,219,924 (ABS) occupied apartments, with many not having ample storage space or storage cages. Along with the apartment and house growth within Australia, we have also seen the self-storage industry growing at an incredible speed.
With more and more apartments being established, a lot more people are opting to buy off-the-plan. Estimated times of finalisation in the building process can vary, which can leave you in a sticky situation if you have sold your home and need to move before your new home is ready.. What would you do with all the furniture you have, and all the possessions you have ready to be moved? With many storage companies offering short term to long term storage spaces, Storage Compare will help you find the right space needed for your budget and for the time needed. Whether you’ve sold your house or are moving from one rental property to another, you’re always going to need a solution for removalists, boxes or storage.That’s why Storage Compare is the perfect option on getting you the best prices and services. They do all the hard work for you so that extra stress is out the window. Storage Compare is a free service, so could it really get any better than that?!
