Energy bills are rising again, because apparently winter wasn't expensive enough already š«
Here are 7 simple tips to help keep your energy bills down this winter:
1. Turn your thermostat down by 1Ā°C ā Even a small adjustment can help reduce heating costs, as long as your home stays comfortably warm.
2. Close your curtains when it gets dark ā Help keep the warmth in and reduce heat loss through your windows.
3. Draught-proof doors and windows ā Seal unwanted gaps to stop warm air escaping, without blocking essential ventilation.
4. Keep radiators clear ā Avoid blocking them with furniture or curtains so heat can circulate more effectively.
5. Rethink how you dry your laundry ā Reduce tumble dryer use where possible and use a dehumidifier instead. Itās a cheaper alternative to a tumble dryer and preventās excess moisture in your home.
6. Switch off appliances on standby ā Small savings can add up over time. Just check which appliances are safe to switch off.
7. Set a heating schedule ā Make sure you're heating your home when you need it, rather than unnecessarily heating empty spaces.
We're all looking for ways to make our energy go a little further this winter, and every little change can make a difference.
