Energy Saving Tips

Change all light bulbs to energy saving light bulbs. They last longer and use 20% of the power.
Fit an insulating jacket to your hot water cylinder. Buy a British Standard jacket that’s at least 7.5cm thick.
Insulate hot water pipes, especially the ones between the boiler and hot water cylinder.
If your boiler is over 15 years old, it's a good idea to fit an energy efficient condensing boiler.
Turn off all lights when not needed.
Don’t leave the TV and other appliances on standby.
Never leave hot taps running – its money down the drain.

Don’t overfill your kettle; heat only the amount of water you need.
Take regular short showers instead of baths – you’ll use 60% less water.
Use your toaster, not the grill for toast.
Wash your laundry @ 30°C.
Install Renewable Energy measures.
