The app, “Use It Wisely”, which is developed by the Department of Energy (DoE), offers consumer-friendly services such as requesting a call back from an “efficiency adviser”, personalised tips, ordering a free self-install “efficiency kit” and scheduling a virtual home assessment through a video call for recommendations from experts to review consumption and further improve efficiency.
The department has undertaken the initiative to support consumers in making energy-efficient choices.
The “efficiency adviser” will inform consumers about electricity and water conservation techniques.
The adviser will provide handy tips on how to reduce bills.
Consumers can also access simple energy conservation tips on the app.
The efficiency kit contains do-it-yourself and easy to install electricity and water conservation items.
