It al centres around Eskom’s proposed Tariff increases for the next 3 years of 45% each year which will drive up your electricity costs to SHOCKINGLY high levels.
People need to understand that they can make changes now – CFL’S, LED’s, SOLAR, ENERGY EFFICIENT FITTINGS – all will reduce your usage substantially.
Most people complain that these items are TOO expensive and lets face it, they are more expensive than the usual alternatives. BUT this is the completely wrong way of viewing these items. We need to stop thinking like consumers, we need to re-think the way we live.
We need to understand that these Items are ASSETS and not expenses. They generate a return on the investment you have spent. For instance a LED bulb will save you approximate 50% when compared with the usual incandescent bulb. You therefore save money and in the real world saving money is just as good as making more money!
We have to run our homes like businesses – think carefully about our purchases and the rewards will be dramatic.
Right now with the Eskom increases we are financing THEIR assets and footing the bill, paying more for nothing? We have not increased our usage, in fact I would guess in most instances we have reduced our usage – YET we still pay more. This is not how it is supposed to work.
What can we do about it – GO SOLAR, GO EFFICIENT – so a solar system may cost you R15k but you get a return on that investment, and each time Eskom increases their tariffs your return increases. Once you have recouped your initial outlay in savings all that hot water is free – YOU COULDN’T CARE LESS ABOUT WHAT ESKOM DOES IN THE FUTURE.
This is the case with all energy saving products – you generate a return on them and they are in fact assets to you and your household.
You need to take a long term approach and in 24 months you could be generating 80% of your own electricity and saving the rest.
