Switch off radiators in any rooms you are not using regularly and keep internal doors shut to save energy.

Using lids on your pans when cooking will save energy and help heat the contents quicker.

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.

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

If you need to use a tumble drier, make sure you use a full load and keep the lint filter clean. It will keep your machine working more efficiently saving energy while also reducing any risk of fire.
