AI summary

Heating and hot water make up two-thirds of a home's energy bill. You can lower costs with simple fixes like setting your hot water cylinder to 60°C, cleaning heat pump filters monthly, and washing clothes in cold water.

For long-term savings, consider upgrading to energy-efficient appliances. Eligible homeowners can also access grants through the Warmer Kiwi Homes programme, which covers up to 80% of the cost for an efficient heater and insulation.
