When was the last time you switched energy supplier. Regularly changing to the right tariff can save you money by reducing your energy costs. If you rent a property and pay the energy bills yourself the law says you should be able to choose your own energy supplier.

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

Check the programmer on your heating and hot water to make sure the timings match your needs. If you don’t have a seven-day programmer fitted consider getting one.

Still using tungsten, halogen or fluorescent bulbs? Changing to LED lighting can save energy and money.
