Energy saving tips and tricks
Switchtoenergy-efcientlightbulbs
Energy-efcient light bulbs last up to 10 times longer than standard ones and
use up to 80% less energy at the same time.
Donotleaveappliancesonstandby
5% of your power bill is used to run electrical appliances on standby. If a LED
light is on, your appliance is using energy.
Switchofflightsinemptyrooms
You could cut your lighting costs by as much as 15% just by making sure you
turn off lights in rooms and corridors that are not in use.
Don’tturnuptheheatingunlessyoureallyneedto
Unless it’s just too cold for comfort, try to keep your thermostat at 19°C.
Your heating costs go up by 8% each time you increase the temperature by
just one degree
Jazzupyourhotwatertankwithajacket
Insulate your hot water tank with a jacket. It only costs a few pounds and,
with all the heat it traps in, it pays for itself within months. Fit one that is
at least 75mm (3”) thick and you save a great deal of energy. If every UK
household would be tted with an adequate tank-jacket tomorrow, we
would save over £89 million in energy costs every year.
Lookforthelogo
When you purchase new appliances, always look for the Energy Saving
Recommended logo. Energy Saving Recommended appliances are the most
efcient in their category and could save you up to £37 a year.
Keeptwiceaswarmwithdoubleglazing
Double glazing cuts heat loss through windows by 50% and acts as an
insulator, in the same way as loft and wall cavity insulation, making your
heating more energy-efcient.
