Energy Efficiency In The Home

An informative discussion on energy efficiency in the home, was aired on the ABC's Radio National Breakfast program, on Thursday 14th July.

This discussion explains simple ideas on how to save hundreds of dollars off the home's annual electricity bill.

Quoting from their website, "The Labor government said almost 6 million Australians will be marginally better off, or fully compensated, under its carbon tax."

"The opposition, as you might expect, disagrees, suggesting the tax is an attack on 'aspirational Australians'. They've also highlighted a number of case studies where middle income families will have to pay more."

"So, what do you need to do to recoup the cost of a carbon tax on your household? And what's the easiest way to more energy efficient?"

Fuel Poverty In Aussie Homes

More and more homes around Australia are facing fuel poverty, as electricity prices rise. A home is said to be suffering from fuel poverty, when 10% or more of the disposable income, is spent on energy bills.

Already with the recent increases in electricity prices, some householders have been forced to:

• Have the electricity disconnected.
• Reduce the household food bill.

If you have been affected by fuel poverty, we would like to know. Either leave your comments on this blog, or email Aussie Home Energy.

Today, earlier on the Radio National Fran Kelly Breakfast show, was a report by James Carlton on Fuel Poverty. This audio report is interesting enough, to get an idea on how fuel poverty can easily affect the Aussie household. Shocking, when we hear an electricity provider, state that prices may double in the next five years.
