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

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

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.

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

Thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) only limit the maximum temperature areas reach. It is a common misconception that they change how quickly an area heats up. Don’t turn them up thinking the room will heat up quicker.

Use a microwave. Generally a microwave oven is the most efficient way to heat up and cook food.

Insulate hot water pipes along their full length. Don’t waste the energy you have used to heat your hot water.
