Spending one minute less in the shower each day will save up to £8 a year off your energy bills, per person. With a water meter this could save a further £11 off annual water and sewerage bills. If everyone in a four-person household did this it would lead to a total saving of £75 a year.

Make sure your pans fully cover the rings on your hob to use all of the heat being provided. Use the right sized ring for the pan you are heating.

Solid brick walls can be insulated internally or externally to reduce heat loss.

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

Fit a water butt to collect rainwater. Your roof collects about 85,000 litres of rain each year (around 450 butts full). That’s water you can use for your plants and to wash the car, and it’s free!

Smart controls can help ensure your home is comfortable and energy efficient.

Every degree you turn your home thermostat down could save you around £80 to £85 a year on your heating bill.

Cavity wall insulation can help prevent heat loss through your walls. Consider getting this retro-fitted if you still have uninsulated walls.
