Energy Saving Advice
Practical, no-nonsense ways to use less energy and cut your bills — from quick wins to bigger improvements.
Quick wins
- Turn your thermostat down by 1°C — it can noticeably cut heating costs.
- Draught-proof doors, windows and letterboxes.
- Switch to LED bulbs throughout the home.
- Use heating controls and timers so you only heat rooms when needed.
Bigger improvements
For lasting savings, focus on the fabric and systems of your home: insulation to keep heat in, an efficient heating system, and generating your own energy with solar and battery storage.
