Small appliances
  • Small appliances are more energy efficient and economical than the bigger items such as geysers, stoves and televisions.
  • Small appliances such as toasters, electric grills and skillets, slow cookers, electric pots and bottle warmers should be used whenever possible because they use less electricity than a stove.
  • Use an electric kettle to boil water rather than boiling water in a saucepan on the stove. When you are boiling the kettle for tea don’t fill the kettle to the brim when you only want enough water for a single cup – only boil the water you need.
