Our Top 10 Tips

How to save energy?
  1. Switch to LED lightbulbs. They use less energy.

  2. Air-dry your clothes (rather than a tumble-dryer).

  3. Double-glaze your windows. (This also helps with noise control)

  4. Switch devices off when you're not using them. This means turning off at the wall and/or shutting a device down rather than leaving it on standby. Find out more about Vampire Devices.

  5. Wash your clothes on 30 degrees or lower.

  6. Reduce your shower time.

  7. Wrap up your hot water tank. You can buy a hot water cylinder jacket online.
