Low cost energy saving
- Buying a new TV, washing machine or dishwasher? Look out for the energy efficiency rating, and go for A-rated or better.
- Get a hot water cylinder jacket.
- A thick insulating jacket can save around £50 on bills a year.
- Dodge the draught! Fit draught excluders to your windows, doors, letter box and key hole to keep the draughts out and save you £25 per year.
- Fit radiator reflector panels. These slot behind a radiator that’s on an outside wall and reflect the heat back into the room.
- Replacing old style lightbulbs with LED and save £30 a year. Plus they don’t need changing as frequently.
- Change your head. Fit a water efficient shower head and save £30 a year.
- Insulate your loft. A house loses 25% of heat through the roof.
- Loft insulation is a cheap way of saving money on your home and can be done yourself.
