Remember to turn off the tap while brushing your teeth – a running tap wastes over 6 litres per minute.
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.
Make sure your radiators are clear so they can heat the space efficiently. Curtains or furniture can easily block them.
A dripping tap can waste at least 5,500 litres of water a year. If this is hot water you’re also wasting the energy used to heat it. Get leaking taps fixed promptly.
