Electricity bills - reduce them now!
Some tips for reducing your electricity bill... some obvious, some odd! Post if you have your own ideas...
| Top Tip: | | Turn out the lights when you leave the room! |
| Top Tip: | | When boiling a kettle for making tea, coffee or soup only boil as much as you need, dont fill the whole kettle |
| Top Tip: | | Dont leave televisions, DVD players or computers on standby, they can use as much as 30% of the energy that they do when operating |
| Top Tip: | | Now that you can buy your energy from different suppliers, do some research into who is offering the best deals - dont be afraid to switch, your new company will be only too pleased to help set it up |
| Top Tip: | | When you replace a light bulb, buy energy efficient. They cost about three times that of an ordinary bulb, but last 10 times as long while using 25% of the energy |
| Top Tip: | | Only use your washing machine and tumble dryer when they are full. Also, in summer, dont use the tumble dryer, get it out on the line...drying for free! |
Start now! Save the kilowatt!
