Energy savings facts
Every dollar invested in energy efficient appliances saves two dollars in generation, transmission and distribution costs.
Each degree of increase in the temperature of an air conditioner can save as much as 10 per cent of household cooling costs.
Air conditioners use more electricity than nearly all household appliances.
Air conditioning use has escalated in Western Australia in the past five years. The number of households with air conditioners has risen from 47 per cent in 1999 to 92 per cent in 2008.
15 per cent of the electricity network is built to provide for approximately two and a half days of peak use every year. If we reduce our peak use millions of dollars could be saved on infrastructure costs.
Remember, 24 is cool!
