Can I Reduce My Energy Usage to Avoid Extra Charges?

Reducing energy use can help avoid end-of-contract charges—especially if you're only slightly over your allowance. Here's how to cut back.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Reducing your energy usage can help lower or avoid end-of-contract charges — depending on how much you've already used.

Will Cutting Back Now Make a Difference?

It depends on your current usage:

  • If you're only slightly over your estimated allowance, cutting back now could help you avoid extra charges by the end of your contract.

  • If your household has already used significantly more than estimated, reducing usage may only reduce the remaining balance owed, not remove it completely.

Tips to Lower Your Usage

  • Talk to your housemates — shared responsibility can go a long way.

  • Track your meter readings regularly to stay aware of your usage.

  • Ask Bunch about getting a smart meter for real-time usage tracking.
