Make the most of your oven. Filling an oven and batch cooking meals can save energy and money. If you share your home with others, planning meals and eating collectively can help build relationships whilst saving both energy and money.

Boiling food on the hob? Only use the water you need to save energy.

A dripping tap can waste at least 5,500 litres of water a year. If this is hot water you’re also wasting the energy used to heat it. Get leaking taps fixed promptly.

Make sure your radiators are clear so they can heat the space efficiently. Curtains or furniture can easily block them.

Hanging out clothes to dry will save you energy and money over using a tumble drier.

Thermal or heavy blinds and curtains can help trap heat and reduce draughts. Close them at night to reduce heating bills.
