When did you last test your smoke alarm? Make sure it will work when you need it by testing it weekly. #TestItTuesday

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.

Some vulnerable people need to keep their homes warmer than normal. However, most of us can save money and energy by dressing for the weather and putting on a jumper before turning up the heating.

Draught excluders are a cheap way of cutting out the chill from poorly fitting doors and windows. Most are also easy to fit, a simple DIY task.

Switch off radiators in any rooms you are not using regularly and keep internal doors shut to save energy.

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