Simply follow the energy saving tips below to help minimise wasteful use of energy in your home every day:
- Switch off lights in empty rooms
- Close curtains at dusk
- Set thermostats correctly
- hot water thermostats at around 60 - 65oC
- room thermostats between 18 - 21oC
- Turn electrical appliances off rather than leaving them on standby
- Only fill the kettle with as much water as you need each time you boil it
- Cook with lids on pans and match ring size to saucepan size
- Avoid placing furniture in front of radiators
- Wait until you have a full load before using your washing machine and use a lower washing temperature (between 30 - 40oC)
- Set your heating to turn off 30 minutes before you go to bed or leave the house for the day
- Tumble dryers cost a lot to run – dry clothes outside or on a clothes rail
