Still using tungsten, halogen or fluorescent bulbs? Changing to LED lighting can save energy and money.
Boiling food on the hob? Only use the water you need to save energy.
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.
Thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) help ensure your heating is evenly distributed where you need it. Check them to make sure they are set properly so each area reaches the temperature you need and gets no hotter.
When did you last test your smoke alarm? Make sure it will work when you need it by testing it weekly. #TestItTuesday
Check the programmer on your heating and hot water to make sure the timings match your needs. If you don’t have a seven-day programmer fitted consider getting one.
