Top Tips For Saving Money on Heating Bills

Here are some of the top ways to save energy and money:

Energy-saving light bulbs can last up to ten times longer. So, if you fit one in every room of the house, the savings soon add up.

Properly insulating your home can pay off quickly. Loft insulation, for example, can cut your heating bills by 25%, and if you insulate your walls, it could save you more than £100 a year.

You can reduce your energy consumption just by switching your washing machine down to do a 30° wash.

You could save £80 a year simply by turning the central heating thermostat down by one degree.

Always turn off the light when you leave a room, and turn off any electrical items you’re not using. Leaving devices on standby mode uses power and therefore costs you money.

Check that your fridge temperature is set to between 3°C and 5°C – this is the optimum temperature for efficiency.

Watch your water use – taking more showers and fewer baths saves money on heating and water bills alike.

Fitting draught excluders to doors and windows could save you another £20 a year on heating bills.

Make sure that you have an energy-efficient boiler. An “A” rated boiler can cut your heating bills by a third.
