Track your household's electricity usage, review completed audit steps, and see how much you've reduced your monthly utility bill since joining UpgradeNSave. Your account keeps a running record of every recommendation you've applied, from geyser timers to pool pump schedules.
Account status: Active — 3 audit steps completed this month. Your next scheduled review is in 12 days. Keep an eye on your email for reminders and new saving opportunities.
Your geyser timer is set to run from 5:30 AM to 8:00 AM and again from 6:00 PM to 9:30 PM. This schedule matches your household's peak hot water usage and should reduce water heating costs by roughly 25%.
All 14 downlights in the main living areas and kitchen have been replaced with 9W LED bulbs. Estimated monthly savings of 38 kWh, which translates to a noticeable drop on your next municipal bill.
Your pool pump now runs for 4 hours during off-peak hours instead of 8 hours spread across the day. This change alone should cut pool-related electricity usage by up to 40%.
We've connected smart plugs to your fridge, washing machine, and dishwasher. You can now see real-time consumption for each appliance and spot any that are drawing power when they shouldn't be.
Switched from a 2kW fan heater to an oil-filled radiator with a thermostat set to 20°C. This keeps rooms comfortable while using less electricity during the colder months.
Your next step is a full review of your last two municipal statements. We'll compare usage before and after the changes and update your savings dashboard with accurate figures.
Your audit details, usage history, and payment information stay protected at every stage — from the first site visit to the monthly savings report.
Only the auditor assigned to your home and the support staff handling your account can view your audit report. Each login is tied to a named profile, and permissions are reviewed quarterly.
Your appliance inventory, consumption readings, and contact details are encrypted both while stored and while being sent to our tracking dashboard. We use current encryption standards and rotate keys on a fixed schedule.
Payments for home reviews and upgrade plans are processed by a PCI-compliant provider. We only receive a confirmation reference, never your full card number or banking credentials.
If a breach or unusual access is detected, we notify affected households within 48 hours, explain what data was involved, and outline the corrective actions taken. A log of each incident is kept for internal review.
You can request a copy of your audit data at any time or ask us to delete it after your plan ends. We keep only what is needed to support your active savings plan and remove the rest.

Scope of the assessment
Our home energy audit covers geysers, lighting, heating, pool pumps, and major appliances. We inspect insulation, check for draft leaks, and review your usage patterns. The audit does not include structural building inspections, electrical wiring compliance certificates, or appliance repairs — those fall outside our service.Savings estimates are indicative
Projected monthly savings are based on typical South African household profiles and your actual consumption data. Actual results vary with usage habits, tariff structure, and seasonal changes. We provide a tracking dashboard so you can measure real savings against the baseline we establish during the audit.Recommendations are advisory only
Our tailored recommendations for geyser timers, LED retrofits, and pump scheduling are practical suggestions, not installation instructions. Any electrical work must be carried out by a registered electrician in line with South African regulations. We can point you to qualified professionals in your area.Data and privacy
Consumption data you share is used solely to build your reduction plan and track progress. We do not sell or share your information with third parties. You can request deletion of your data at any time by emailing info@upgradensave.com.Service area and response times
