Careers
Is it always higher than expected? A common question among our clients is, ‘Why is my power bill so high’? Well, if this is you, always frowning whenever you see your electricity bill, cheer up, we are here to put a smile back on your face—next month, actually!
Electricity bills are increasingly becoming a major cost for most Australian households. The first step to reducing your energy cost is therefore to understand the factors that determine your overall electricity bill, and identify the main culprits behind your high energy consumption rate.
Hint: Your appliances are a significant contributor to your high power bills.
Of course, this varies from household to household depending on energy usage habits and appliance models used. Look at the appliances in your home, what are their energy efficiency rates?
While you may be aware of the main electricity suckers in your home, many do not truly know how much energy these appliances consume. By arming yourself with relevant knowledge, you’ll gain power over your consumption habits and make right decisions when purchasing appliances; ultimately saving money on subsequent electricity bills.
As a general guide, this well-researched article has evaluated various household appliances and the results are surprising!
In the context of rising electricity prices, it certainly pays to consider your energy needs and make the right decision when purchasing your appliances. Read to the end and thank us later!

Just had solar panels installed on my home, They did an incredible job I’m very happy with them. I would recommend them to anyone looking for solar installations the staff were very knowledgeable, professional and polite (also a local company 👍). Explained everything in detail so there’s no confusion and even helped set up a water heater install at the same time. Thank you team.
Cairns, QLD
Came highly recommended to us, and I would also recommend Hielscher. From booking in the quote we had great customer service, and it was the owner who came and quoted and spent a lot of time walking us through the system. The turnaround time from confirmation to installation was good, and the installers were neat, and ensured we were happy with location of inverter and layout of panels. After sale service has also been great.
Cairns, QLD
System was competitive and found the process easy to understand. The team were very friendly and the system was delivered 2 weeks early. Have no problem recommending this company to anybody who is thinking of installing a solar system.
Cairns, QLD
Professional, honest and efficient. Hielscher Electrical carefully and clearly stepped us through our solar power options. The entire installation of a very slick battery ready solar system was done in half a day. Highly recommend these guys.

The complete process from start to finish was done promptly and professionally and communication was excellent. I now have very happy tenants reaping the benefits and they are able to monitor their usage via the app and also a very satisfied owner who has now added additional value to his investment property.
