We are Energy Warriors
– we hunt the kilowatts

The Energy Warrior has been hunting fluorescent lights out of strata & commercial buildings around Sydney for almost 10 years.

Proenergy

Tim has been a part of the Proenergy team, since 2014 to deliver hundreds of highly successful LED lighting projects. 

With many buildings now having some kind of LED lighting, the time has come for the Energy Warrior to add a few strings to his bow!

2013
Energy Cost Attack was founded by Tim Etheridge in 2013

Tim left the ‘misery of corporate life' (at ACE-Chubb Insurance) 😉 behind and went looking for something useful to do for people.  Even in 2013, energy efficiency was on people’s minds.  But how to find a place in that great big value chain that is energy generation, distribution and consumption ?

Tim headed over to Cornwall, England to do a course in sub-metering and learn how to measure energy efficiency.   Back in Sydney, Australia there was not a lot demand for someone with a web connected energy logger and some CTs to clamp onto cables. 

2013
The LED lighting up-grade market was booming

In 2013, people could get rid of their 50W halogen downlights that do a better job of heating the room than lighting it.  In New South Wales, the Energy Saving Scheme (ESS) was getting under way and the rebates were so good, suppliers could change downlights for “free” and still make a margin.

2014
Tim joins Proenergy

Tim joined forces with Proenergy, based in Bondi Junction and since then, he has delivered several hundred LED lighting projects through the Proenergy team.  Now, in 2024, the Energy Saving Scheme still delivers a decent rebate for exchanging fluorescent generation lights for motion sensor LED fittings.

Recent projects include:

  • Macquarie Apartments at 155 Macquarie St,
  • The HYDE at 157 Liverpool St, both in the Sydney CBD.
  • Shore Apartments at 450 Pacific Highway, Artarmon
  • Valentino Place at 1 Rothschild Ave, Rosebery are other major lighting up-grade projects, completed in the last 12 months.
  • Discovery Point - Wolli Creek.  Car parks & fire stairs.
2021
The EV Market kicks off
The EV Market kicks off

In 2021, the Energy Warrior could see that EV charging would grow from a good idea to a necessity of life over the next 10 years.  Tim started look around for suppliers who could deal with the challenges of enabling a strata building car park.  Since then, he has undertaken numerous EV Charging Site Assessments for Strata clients.  The cost of connecting a few EV's in the buildings, using Level 2 charging, were too much to justify.

2024
ReadySteadyPlug was invented to deliver Level 1 EVC to Strata

In  2024, the Energy Warrior went the Owners Corporation Network event and discovered a NEW & UNIQUE solution to the Strata EV charging challenge.

Two electrical engineers, with international experience in applied technology, built ReadySteadyPlug.  This world-first Level 1 EVC solution, enables a staged rollout, at a fraction of the cost of a Level 2 rollout, in strata.

Energy Warrior Tim is their National Sales Agent.

2024
The Energy Warrior finds a quality Solar PV Supplier

Our Solar PV partners adopt the same business benchmarks that the Energy Warrior has applied with Proenergy.

We compete on results - durability and reliability come first, price comes second.

Tim is delighted to find a solar PV companies with the  right approach.  

Our Heat Pump HW company that installs the Reclaim product, for the reasons given above. 

"Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten."

The Energy Warrior domain was secured in November 2022.

Now that the average energy price has moved from 20 something cents per kW/Hr-towards 40 cents, the energy efficiency savings DOUBLE . 

It also helps reduce grid demand, carbon emissions as well as the power bill.

Now you know why the Energy Warrior is all fired up!  He has added three new strings to his bow – and the cost of energy makes everything he does, even more useful.
