Energy saving tips

Here are some of the ways that you can save energy - and money:

Low Energy Light Bulbs

You can light five rooms for the price of one using low energy light bulbs.

Heating

Turning down your thermostat by 1C could save you 10% on your fuel bill. We work with boilerjuice.com to bring you cheaper heating oil.

Lights

Turn them off when you are not using them.

Washing

Always put a full load in the machine and wash at cooler temperatures

Home Entertainment

Make sure you do not leave equipment on standby. Research suggests devices in standby could be responsible for up to 10% of people’s bills.

Windows And Doors

Close them when your heating is on.
