Save Energy UK - Energy Saving Tips

1. Turn your thermostat down. Reducing your room temperature by 1°C could cut your heating bills by up to 10 percent. You could save around £40 per year.

2. Is your water too hot? Your cylinder thermostat shouldn't need to be set higher than 60°C/140°F.

3. Close your curtains at dusk to stop heat escaping through the windows.

4. Always turn off the lights when you leave a room.

5. Don't leave appliances on standby - and remember not to leave appliances on charge unnecessarily.

6. If you're not filling up the washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher, use the half-load or economy programme.

7. Only boil as much water as you need (but remember to cover the elements if you're using an electric kettle).

8. A dripping hot water tap wastes energy and in one week wastes enough hot water to fill half a bath, so fix leaking taps and make sure they're fully turned off!

9. Use energy saving light bulbs. Just one energy efficient lightbulb can save you £100 over the lifetime of the bulb - and they last up to 12 times longer than ordinary lightbulbs.
