4 - Smart thermostats: Contributing to your comfort
Did you know that heating generally accounts for over 50% of your electricity bill. Hilo’s smart home service, through intelligent devices, is the best solution to reduce your consumption during peak events by automating the temperature settings of your thermostats. It’s offered at $0, and you can save up to 20% on your electricity bill in winter by limiting your consumption during these specific times.
5 - A timer for your outdoor lights: A small change that can pay off
Save energy and simplify your life with programmable lighting timers. Take an energy-saving action by determining the operating schedule of your outdoor lights using a few easy settings. Is it dark out? You can choose to have the lights on until whatever time you want. That way, your lights won’t be on all night long. Whether manual or connected to your smart phone, a timer is always a smart choice!
6 - Slow cooking: It’s not only practical
Many small household appliances, such as microwaves or slow cookers, can help you use less electricity. Slow cookers use much less energy than standard ovens —up to 80% less. Cooking a delicious meal while saving electricity is that much more satisfying!
