In a climate where costs are high and we are increasingly aware of our responsibility to be mindful of energy usage, every household could benefit from easy-to-implement steps that will also save money. When viewing your energy bill, make sure that you understand what the charges are and what the units mean, and in turn, you will be able to adjust and reduce your overall usage.
With energy costs at an all-time high, it has never been more important to start saving energy.
Tips:
Switch appliances off instead of using stand-by functions, to make a saving of around £70 per year.
Draught-proofing windows and doors can save you around £58 per year and is essential to ensure that heat loss from your home is minimised. DIY kits are readily available and easy to install.
Turn off your lights when not in use and convert to LED bulbs for around £25 a year in savings.
Save around £30 a year by turning your washing machine down to a 30-degree temperature and committing to reduce usage by 1 cycle a week for a year.
Taking showers instead of baths reduces energy consumption, especially when limiting shower time in addition.
Solar panel installation
Solar energy is completely green and renewable. The sun’s natural light is converted into energy that is capable of powering a full home. Panels are increasingly more affordable to install and require minimal maintenance. Homes may even see an increase in their value by installing solar panels, proving that they are a worthwhile investment, not only in terms of reducing energy bills.
Installing solar panels at your home means you are never reliant on the grid. You can even gain financially and contribute to the supplies of the grid by exporting solar energy back to it.
