Every degree you turn your home thermostat down could save you around £80 to £85 a year on your heating bill.
Wash fruit and vegetables in a bowl, not under a running tap, to cut water use. Use the leftover water for your houseplants or patio pots.
Keeping the oven door closed while you are cooking helps keep your oven at a stable temperature. It can also improve your cooking whilst saving you energy.
Use the sun to reduce your heating bills. Leave internal doors open to rooms which trap the sun so the heat can spread to other areas.
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.
When did you last test your smoke alarm? Make sure it will work when you need it by testing it weekly. #TestItTuesday
