Winter in Wagga Wagga can be beautiful—but it also means heaters running overtime and energy bills creeping up. The good news? There are plenty of cost-effective ways to keep warm without breaking the bank.

🔌 Top Winter Energy-Saving Strategies

1. Keep It Cosy (But Not Toasty):
Set your heater to 18–20°C. Every degree higher can increase your energy bill by up to 10%.

2. Seal Those Gaps:
Use door snakes, weather strips, or even rolled towels to block draughts. Gaps around windows and doors are sneaky sources of heat loss.

3. Insulate Smartly:
Roof and wall insulation can reduce heat loss by up to 45%. It’s an upfront investment that pays for itself long-term.

4. Embrace Zoning:
Close off rooms you’re not using, and focus your heating on living spaces.

5. Layer Up:
Don’t underestimate the power of warm clothing and extra throws—simple changes can drastically reduce heating needs.

6. Switch to Efficient Heating:
Consider heat pumps or reverse cycle systems. While the initial cost may be higher, the savings on bills are significant over time.

Bonus Tip: Keep curtains open during the day to let in natural sunlight, then close them at night to trap the heat in.
