During these difficult economic times a few
simple, cost effective changes will
significantly reduce the amount of energy you
use heating your business, home and water.
Top
ten simple tips for saving energy in your
business residents and homes
Turning down the
temperature by just 1 degree centigrade can
significantly help save on bills.
Fitting
a jacket to hot water cylinders and exposed
pipes can help prevent heat loss.
Fit
control valves on the radiators and generally
keep them in good condition by bleeding them
once in a while.
Fitting energy
saving bulbs can help with efficiency – a quick
and easy solution. A simple way to save bags of
electricity is to turn off lights when not in
use.
Switch off all
electrical appliances when not in use.
If
you’re not filling up the washing machine,
tumble dryer or dishwasher, use the half-load or
economy programme.
Stop
heat going through the roof by installing loft
insulation. Government support is available for
certain groups of people.
Keep
it tight – ventilate right. Every dwelling is in
need of ventilation, but it is best if
controlled.
Fitting double
glazing can improve efficiency throughout the
house by a fifth.
Boilers account for around 60% of all
domestic carbon dioxide emissions. Replace your
old, inefficient boiler by fitting a new high
efficiency condensing boiler with thermostatic
heating controls. It could save you around £200
a year or more.
