With the constant energy price increases all the big multinational companies are telling us the most expensive ways to save you money on energy costs. Here are our top ten tips to help reduce your energy bills this winter that won’t cost you the earth to implement.

1. TURN DOWN YOUR THERMOSTAT ⏲
By simply turning your thermostat down by 1 degree you can knock up to 10% off your energy bill. Many of us have our heating on far too high of a setting. 20-21 degrees should be more than comfortable

2. REDUCE APPLIANCE USE 🚿
This sounds a bit obvious but we all do things everyday like boil a full kettle of water for just 1 cup of tea. Only boil the amount you need (or boil a full kettle and fill a flask). Heating water in the home is 1 of the most expensive things ie kettles, showers, immersions, think reduce, reduce, reduce.

3.INSTALL TIMER CONTROLS ⏱
Contrary to popular belief it is not cheaper to leave your immersion turned on 24/7. As mentioned above only heat what you need. Set your timer for only the hours you require hot water

4.INSTALL A LAGGING JACKET 🧥
Fitting a lagging jacket to your hot water cylinder will keep your water hotter for longer and use less energy to heat it up again.

5.SWITCH ENERGY PROVIDER 🔙🔜
Switching energy provider is probably the easiest way to save on energy costs. Switching annually will ensure you are always on a discounted rate

6. BATCH COOK 🎛
You can easily cook 2-3 family meals in an oven at 1 time. Batch cooking not only saved you money but saves you time in your busy lives

7.DRAUGHTS 💨
Close doors, close the curtains plug your letter box to keep the heat in. Check windows for drafts that can be sealed easily using self adhesive tape

8.TURN OFF TAPS 🚰 AND LIGHTS
Do not let hot water running you are literally poring money down the drain.Switch lights off when leaving a room. Plug in nightlights for kids rooms stairs and hallways are great for the little 1s (and some of the big 1s 🤣 )that are scared of the dark.

9.ENERGY EFFICIENT BULBS 💡
Replace old halogen and filament type bulbs and fittings to led type. Can save up to 80% on lighting costs

10. SMART METERS
Learn how to read and use your newly installed smart meter. Smart meters will provide you with greater access to accurate information on your energy usage, giving you greater control over your energy consumption.
