Summary
West Australians face some of the highest household costs in the country for basic tasks like heating and cooking, according to a new analysis by iSelect. With WA having the third highest electricity prices nationally, air conditioning and electric heating are the most significant expenses, exacerbated by a small population spread over a vast area and reliance on gas-fired power. To mitigate costs, iSelect suggests turning off appliances when not in use, using energy-efficient devices, and shifting usage away from peak hours to save on bills.
