• Look at getting a smart meter installed in your property if you don't have one fitted already. 
  • Turn lights off when not in use. Leaving one standard 60W light bulb on all day (12 hours) could cost you 20p per day* that’s £73 per year per light left on.
  • Switch to low-energy LED bulb throughout your home. LED bulbs use 90% less electricity than standard bulbs while providing the same level of lighting.   
  • Close your curtains at dusk to prevent heat from excaping. 
  • Use a cooler wash setting to do your laundry, washing at 30 degrees can save as much as 40% compared to washing at higher temperatures. Use shorter washes when freshening up clothes. 
  • Electric showers are one of the biggest energy consumers – try reduce down the time spent in an electric shower when possible.    
  • Towel dry hair to reduce instead of using a hairdryer.    
  • Try cooking in a microwave instead of an oven. 
  • Try batch cooking to make the most of the energy you’re using.    
  • Unplug or switch off devices at the wall around the home when not in use - items plugged in (even on standby) still draw electricity, which could rack up if you have a lot of items plugged in.    
  • Put draft excluders against draughty doors and windows.   
  • Turn taps off so they don't leak.    
  • Dry clothes outside when it is not raining. 
  • Try reduce down your grocery bill by using apps like 'Too Good to Go'.
