Only fill your kettle with the water you need. You will save both water and energy.
Make sure your radiators are clear so they can heat the space efficiently. Curtains or furniture can easily block them.
Use a microwave. Generally a microwave oven is the most efficient way to heat up and cook food.
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.
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.
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.
