Practical Tips for Cutting Costs and Improving Energy Efficiency
- Embrace Energy-Efficient Lighting
✅ Benefits: LEDs use up to 90% less energy than traditional bulbs and last significantly longer, reducing maintenance costs.
💡 Tip: Install motion sensors or timers in less-used areas like tack rooms or storage sheds to ensure lights are only on when needed.
- Insulate to Save Heat
✅ Benefits: Better insulation reduces heating needs and maintains a consistent temperature.
💡 Tip: Insulate walls, ceilings, and pipes. Draught-proof doors and windows with weather strips or seals to prevent heat loss.
- Manage Water Usage
✅ Benefits: Reducing water heating costs saves energy while maintaining yard functionality.
💡 Tip: Invest in energy-efficient water heaters and insulate hot water tanks.
💧 Bonus: Switching water suppliers could reduce your bills by up to 18%—or more in some cases. Enexus can help you select the best supplier, manage the process, and secure competitive tariffs.
- Harness Renewable Energy
✅ Benefits: Solar panels can provide free electricity and generate income through government incentive schemes.
💡 Tip: Assess your yard’s roof space or open land for potential solar panel installation.
- Manage Peak Energy Usage
✅ Benefits: Shifting energy-intensive tasks to off-peak times lowers costs.
💡 Tip: Run equipment like water pumps or electric fencing chargers during off-peak hours where possible.
- Maintain Equipment Regularly
✅ Benefits: Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and prevents costly breakdowns.
💡 Tip: Schedule routine checks for electric fencing, water heaters, and lighting systems to identify inefficiencies.
- Educate Staff
✅ Benefits: Small changes in behaviour can lead to noticeable savings.
💡 Tip: Create clear guidelines, such as turning off lights when leaving a room, reporting dripping taps, and using shared equipment efficiently.
- Consider a Forensic Energy Audit
✅ Benefits: Professional energy audits uncover hidden inefficiencies and billing errors, leading to immediate cost savings.
💡 Tip: Partner with an energy consultant to review past energy bills and identify areas for improvement.
- Upgrade to Smart Technology
✅ Benefits: Smart meters and energy monitors provide real-time data on energy usage, enabling better energy management.
💡 Tip: Install a smart meter to gain visibility over your energy consumption and adjust usage accordingly.
- Explore Grants and Incentives
✅ Benefits: Financial support offsets the cost of renewable energy installations or equipment upgrades.
💡 Tip: Research programmes such as the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) for renewable energy or local energy efficiency grants.
