Winter is here
August 02, 2017
The days are short and the nights are cold: winter is here. These three tips help you get through this winter.
1 Also hate waking up in or coming home to a cold house? Get yourself an electric heater and connect it to a timer. Set it about 30 minutes before you get up or come home and you’ll have a warm room! Get a timer from us today and wake up in a warm room tomorrow!
2 Your kids are doing homework, your wife is sowing and you want to watch TV. All in different rooms, all with heaters. And then the circuit overloads and the breaker trips! Don’t despair, you don’t have to sit in the cold. Simply re-divide the load on the breakers, or install a new breaker to relieve the load. We have them in store!
3 It is dark early so the lights are on a lot. But now the electricity bill goes up! Simply change your lights to LED and watch that meter slow down instantly! Check out our range!
