Australians are slashing winter energy use as soaring electricity bills bite, with 87.4 % of households taking action. More than half are unplugging appliances, 46.8 % are using heaters or air‑conditioners less, 44.1 % have switched to energy‑efficient light bulbs, and 23.2 % are shortening showers or reducing hot‑water consumption. Despite these measures, 73.3 % remain on more expensive retailer plans and only 9.3 % have switched providers, meaning many could still save by comparing offers. Industry experts stress that finding a cheaper plan and adopting simple habits are the quickest ways to keep winter bills manageable.
