Kiri Griffiths talks about the the benefits of the energy efficient products that have been installed in her family home.

Everyone wants a warm house to come home to – without having to spend a fortune on electricity. Using energy efficiently is a big focus for us too. To recognise that and to raise awareness, during the year we ran a Home Makeover competition which gave five Meridian customers the chance to make serious improvements to the energy efficiency of their homes.

The five winners each received an energy audit for their home – and $10,000 to spend on energy efficiency products and installation. To enter, customers had to write in and tell us three different things they would do to make their home more energy efficient.

The competition created a lot of interest and we received some great entries. It showed us that our customers are very interested in energy efficiency and ways to make the money they spend on electricity go further.

For more information about some of the ways we help customers use electricity more efficiently, see the Energy effeciency section of this report.
