Using lids on your pans when cooking will save energy and help heat the contents quicker.
Still using tungsten, halogen or fluorescent bulbs? Changing to LED lighting can save energy and money.
Remember to turn off the tap while brushing your teeth – a running tap wastes over 6 litres per minute.
Every degree you turn your home thermostat down could save you around £80 to £85 a year on your heating bill.
Switch off radiators in any rooms you are not using regularly and keep internal doors shut to save energy.
Properly used, dishwashers use less water and energy than washing dishes by hand. However, make sure you only wash full loads and don’t pre-rinse everything in the sink first unless it really needs it.
