Our top energy saving tips

  • Defrost your freezer every 6 months – this will ensure it runs efficiently.
  • When making hot drinks, only boil the amount of water you need.
  • Don’t leave appliances on standby – turn them off when not in use.
  • Save water – don’t leave your tap running when having a shave or brushing your teeth.
  • Control the temperature in your home, turn off any radiators that aren’t in use and maintain the temperature between 18 and 21 degrees.
  • Keep radiators and heaters clear so warm air can circulate – for example, by drawing your curtains and tucking them behind radiators.
  • Run the washing machine at a lower temperature – you can often do everyday washes at 30°C. Washing clothes at 30°C uses around 40% less electricity over a year than washing at higher temperatures.
  • Think about replacing traditional light bulbs with LED bulbs because this will save you money.
