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.
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.
Only fill your kettle with the water you need. You will save both water and energy.
Thermal or heavy blinds and curtains can help trap heat and reduce draughts. Close them at night to reduce heating bills.
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.
