Tips for reducing energy bills
👀 Look at the bigger picture
Could your home be losing heat through the loft and walls? Without good insulation, you might be paying for warmth that’s disappearing straight out of the property.
Is your boiler or heating system working hard, without getting anywhere? An inefficient boiler could be an expensive and unproductive system in your home.
We help residents find solutions to the biggest and most complex parts of heating and powering a home. Many households are eligible for grants and funding to cover all or part of the cost of home energy improvements. Our job is to help you find the support you’re eligible for.
🔍 Look at the smaller picture
Small draughts, inefficient lightbulbs and long showers could be just some of the small but mighty contributers to high energy bills. Here are some ideas to help keep things running efficiently.
🟢 Check for any cracks around your window frames, door frames and letter box. Items like draught-proofing tape can help to keep the heat in.
🟢 Take shorter showers to reduce the amount of water you need to heat.
🟢 Switch appliances off at the socket to help keep your electricity use down.
🟢 Replace old light bulbs with LED ones.
🟢 Consider installing low-flow shower heads (if your shower is not electric).
