How We Calculate This

Simple, transparent rules — no guesswork
AlexSaves doesn’t use AI predictions or complex models.
We use clear, explainable rules based on how Australian homes use energy.

How we identify your top cost culprits
We look at five major drivers

  • Heating and cooling hours

  • Hot water type and household size

  • Solar setup

  • Tariff type

  • High‑load appliances

Each culprit is triggered by a simple rule.
Example: If AC/heating > 4 hours/day → HVAC becomes a primary culprit.

How we estimate your savings
We use realistic ranges, not perfect numbers.
Example: Reducing AC runtime saves 10–30% depending on usage.

How we prioritise your plan
Your 3‑step plan is ordered by:

  1. Highest savings

  2. Lowest effort

  3. Smart sequencing (e.g., tariff switch always in top 3)

Your privacy
We don’t store personal data. Everything runs instantly and anonymously.
