Choosing Utilities Provider - Top Tips
Reducing your energy bill
The easiest way to reduce your energy bill is to use less energy. This is not as hard as it may seem:
- use low energy light bulbs and always turn off the lights when you leave a room
- make sure TV's, computers and games consoles are turned off, not left on standby
- when you boil the kettle, only fill it with as much water as you need
- turn the thermostat on your hot water or central heating system down a little
- adjust your heating timer to slightly reduce how long your heating is on each day
- draft-proof your windows and doors
- put heat reflectors (or foil) behind your radiators
- wash the laundry at 40°C rather than 60°C
Taken together, these small measures can make a big difference!
