Washing a small load of clothes? Check you washing machine’s settings to see if you can use the “half load” programme to save water and energy.
If your charger has an LED to show it’s in use, it is still using energy until you switch it off at the wall or unplug it.
Still using tungsten, halogen or fluorescent bulbs? Changing to LED lighting can save energy and money.
Using lids on your pans when cooking will save energy and help heat the contents quicker.
Remember to turn off the tap while brushing your teeth – a running tap wastes over 6 litres per minute.
Make sure your radiators are clear so they can heat the space efficiently. Curtains or furniture can easily block them.
