AI summary

Heating and hot water can account for two-thirds of your power bill. You can save money with simple fixes like setting your hot water cylinder to 60°C, fixing drips, and cleaning heat pump filters monthly.

For long-term savings, upgrade to efficient appliances like heat pumps. While the upfront cost is higher, they are cheaper to run. Eligible homeowners can get financial help through the Warmer Kiwi Homes programme, with EECA grants covering most of the installation cost.
