The Energy Saving Trust suggests the following ‘Top Ten Tips’ for saving energy.
Turn your thermostat down. Reducing your room temperature by 1°C
could cut your heating bills by up to 10% and can typically save up to £40
per year. If you have a programmer, set your heating and hot water to come
on only when required rather than all the time.
Close your curtains at dusk to stop heat escaping through the windows and
check for draughts around windows and doors.
Always turn off the lights when you leave a room.
Don't leave appliances on standby and remember not to leave laptops and
mobile phones on charge unnecessarily.
If possible, fill up the washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher: one
full load uses less energy than two half loads.
Only boil as much water as you need (but remember to cover the elements
if you're using an electric kettle).
