10 Free Ways To Save Energyfree ways to save energy

Here are 10 easy ways to reduce your energy consumption without spending a penny!

 

1.  Turn your thermostat down
     Turning your thermostat down by 1°C  would save you around £40 per year
 

2.  Switch off the lights
     Always turn off the lights when you leave a room (unless somebody else is in there!)

3.  Is your hot water too hot?
     The thermostat on your cylinder doesn't need to be set higher than 60°C/140°F

4.  No more standby
    
Don't leave electrical appliances on standby. This would save an average house £37 per year

5. Don't overfill the kettle
     Save energy and water by only boiling as much water as you need

6.  Washing
     Wash at 30°C. If your machine isn't full, use economy & half load programmes

7.  Drying
    
Hang out your clothes on the washing line instead of using the tumble dryer

8.  Close your curtains
    
Close your curtains at dusk to prevent heat from escaping through the windows

9.  Fix leaking taps
    
A dripping hot water tap wastes energy. Fix leaks and make sure they are fully turned off
