Every year, millions of people switch off their lights for Earth Hour, a global movement to raise awareness about climate change and energy conservation. But what if saving energy went beyond just one hour?
With smart technology and a few small changes, you can reduce energy waste, lower electricity bills, and shrink your carbon footprint—without even thinking about it.
What is Earth Hour?
Earth Hour began in 2007 as a symbolic lights-out event in Sydney. Since then, it has grown into a global movement, inspiring people to make more sustainable choices every day. Turning off lights for an hour is a great start, but real impact comes from long-term energy-saving habits.
Smart ways to save energy beyond Earth Hour
🌡️ Optimise your air conditioning
Heating and cooling account for 40% of household energy use. Smart thermostats, like AC Link, allow you to control your climate, anywhere, anytime and help automate temperature adjustments to reduce wasted energy.
🔌 Cut standby power waste
Devices left on standby can account for up to 10% of your power bill. A smart energy monitor like Electricity Advisor helps you track usage and spot hidden energy drains. While LiveLink amps up your Electricity Advisor, so you can check in your energy usage from over the road, or around the globe.
🔆 Use Smart Automation for Efficiency
From turning off appliances automatically to scheduling high-energy tasks during solar peak hours, setting automation using Smart Actions makes saving energy effortless.
Make Every Hour Count
Earth Hour is a great reminder that small actions can lead to big change. But why stop at one hour? Smart technology makes it easy to reduce energy waste every day.
