Energy Saving Tips

In addition to comparing energy prices on a regular basis, we have come up with some energy saving tips that could help you save as much if not more than switching energy supplier:

Insulate your home
Use a timer to set your heating and hot water supply so they only come on when you need them; just before you get up in a morning. You can then make sure they are off when you leave the house.
Set the hot water thermostat to either 140 degrees Fahrenheit or 60 degrees Celsius
Turn down your thermostat. Put a jumper on and reduce your room temperature
Turn lights off when leaving a room
Close your curtains to stop heat escaping
Check windows, doors and floorboards for draughts
Don’t leave appliances on standby
Don’t leave laptops and mobile phones on charge
Try to fill the dishwasher, washing machine or tumble drier before using
Fix any leaking taps and make sure they are turned off
Only boil as much water as you need
Use energy saving light bulbs
Get an energy monitor. You do have to buy them but monitoring your usage may save you money in the long run
Choose energy efficient appliances that are cheaper to run
