Only fill your kettle with the water you need. You will save both water and energy.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Solid brick walls can be insulated internally or externally to reduce heat loss.

Insulate hot water pipes along their full length. Don’t waste the energy you have used to heat your hot water.
