“We had no idea hot water was such a big part of our bill. Now we know exactly where our energy goes and how to control it. $1,366 back in our pocket, every year.”
What we noticed
After installing their Basis Board, Brigitte and her family were shocked to learn that their hot water cylinder was using 62% of their home's electricity.
Six people, a four-bedroom home, two showers running back-to-back most mornings. The HWC was working overtime and nobody had any idea.
What changed
With the new insight, they quickly created a hot water routine and switched to a better retail plan. Power use dropped by 21%; total costs dropped by 37%.
Annual electricity bill: $3,612 before Basis, $2,246 after. $1,366 back in the family's pocket every year, with no behaviour change beyond the routine.
Outcome
$1,366 back in the family's pocket every year.
