Programme your heating
Make sure you have a programmable thermostat and are using it! If you’re not sure how to do this, you should be able find manuals for most thermostats online, or ask an energy advisor to help.
Turn down your thermostat
Turning down your heating by just one degree could cut your heating bill by up to 10%. Avoid using plug in heaters if possible, they are expensive to run.
Turn things off
Get into the habit of turning off appliances and lighting that you’re not using. Turn lights off when you go out of the room or during the day and don’t leave appliances like bathroom extractor fans on for long periods as they use a lot of energy.
Use low-energy lightbulbs
Replacing your lightbulbs with low energy equivalents can make a huge difference to your energy bill. LEDs can use 90% less energy than standard lightbulbs.
