Scott : VIC : Keeping Cool About Rising Electricity Costs

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 23:52:20 GMT

Late last year we decided to get on top of our never ending rising electricity bills. So we purchased a three phase home electricity monitor from Aussie Home Energy.

Our biggest saving was to be discovered on our AC. Where we learned the boost option, was costing us dearly! By understanding our AC usage & operation, along with other home electricity savings, we are now looking at a quarterly bill of $1500. Compared to a bill that was $2600!

So would we recommend this monitor as a way to start reducing electricity costs in the home? You bet we would, as for less than $200 and with a little education, we will be saving $1100 per quarter! And that's $4400 per year!

Thanks again Aussie Home Energy, for all your additional help.... 10/10

Mick : NSW : Knowing The Tenant's Electricity Usage

Thanks AHE for your help setting up the monitor. Now both myself & the tenant know exactly how much electricity we're using. No more guesswork!

I would recommend your home electricity monitor to anyone in a situation similar to my own.

Chris : NSW : Cut Electricity Costs By 50% Due To Billing Error & Findings

Tue, 08 Nov 2011 06:11:32 GMT

As a result of the discussions I had with you, after analysing my bill, I realised that my electricity provider had been charging me peak rates, for my off-peak hot water. After 1 hour on the phone sorting this out, I am getting a refund of $200 - $300 and a reduction on future bills of $180 a quarter. This refund has already paid for the home electricity monitor!

I also discovered that my pool pump and cleaner are taking a lot of power. Having reduced the pool pump to 6 hours a day from 8 and the cleaner to 2 from 8 I am now halving that cost.

We also discovered that putting the computer into sleep mode saves $10 a month. Heat lamps in the shower cost a lot and the air conditioner is costing 75c an hour.

I am further signing a 12 month contract with my electricity supplier, to save another 10% of the Gov gazetted rate.

Conclusion – I can reduce my bill by 50% from $1,800 per quarter to under $900. Thank you!!

Geoff : NSW : Discovered Why The Bill Was 30% More Than The Neighbours

Thu, 27 Oct 2011 05:09:49 GMT

When I compared our increasingly burdensome electricity bill with my neighbours, I discovered we were consuming 30% more electricity than they were and we have gas heating and hot water service whilst they are all electric.

Determined to identify and resolve this disparity, I searched the web for a suitable monitor finally settling on the AHE's 24/7 LCD Wireless Home Electricity Monitor as being the best fully featured device at a reasonable cost.

After spending 15 minutes installing the transmitter, I teamed the monitor with the Techtoniq Energy Station 2.0 software running on my PC. The next two days were spent in identifying specific appliances and lighting, that were contributing to the unsustainable electricity bill. A task made very simple by noting the immediate changes in the monitor's display as devices were turned on or off.

After several months use, my wife and I have become conscientious with regards to turning-off lights and appliances like TV’s when we’re not in the room and should we forget the monitor reminds us of our lapse with a higher than yesterday's reading, a really neat feature!

This little device is one of the best investments we have ever made and has already paid for itself, by helping us to reduce our electricity consumption by over 25%.

Neil & Sam : QLD : Found The Monitor Paid For Itself In 5 Months

Mon, 08 Aug 2011 06:20:56 GMT

This testimonial has been a long time coming, as we've had the monitor for over a year now. We would like to say to anyone thinking of buying a monitor, that you need to do this asap. What we found was that we saved the cost of the monitor in the first 5 months!

We just kept on finding more ways to save on electricity costs. First was the standby, next was the awful halogen lights and finally my husbands supposed efficient beer fridge. We would both like to thank you AHE, for helping us see the light.
