Heating and insulation is just one of the areas in which changes can be made, including:
* Draught proofing windows and doors and blocking cracks in floors and skirting boards. This can lead to savings of up to £35 a year.
* Using heating thermostats and radiator valves can save between £80-£165 a year.
* Stop blocking the heat, e.g. don’t hang washing on radiators to dry and don’t position bulky furniture near radiators.
* Hang reflective foil behind radiators to stop heat escaping through the wall.
Saving water is another means of saving money with the average UK household getting through 360 litres a day. That can be cut by:
* Using a bowl rather than tap to wash up and only filling the kettle with the amount you need.
* Swapping one bath a week for a shower and using a water efficient showerhead
* A running tap wastes more than six litres of water a minute, so turn it off while brushing your teeth, shaving, or washing your face.
* Fix dripping taps, as they waste over 5500 litres of water a year
* Just use your washing machine once a week
Meanwhile, when it comes to lighting, switching to LEDs can save £35 a year on bills, and turning them off when you’re not using them saves about £15 annually.
