1. Switch off (at the socket) any appliances that aren’t in use. Did you know that appliances on standby still use a reasonable amount of power?

2. Appliances: When it’s time to buy a new appliance look for the most efficient type, electric heaters come in different shapes and sizes!

3. Lighting :
     - Turn it off when not in use. Consider using sensors to switch off lights in unused areas.
     - Use natural light as much as possible.
     - Switch to energy saving LED lamps.

4. Hot Water. In the winter months the cost of heating very cold water can be eye watering. Many customers have had timers fitted so they are in control of when immersion is on/off.

5. Heating and insulation. Modern electric heaters are reasonably efficient, if you have an old electric heating system upgrading to a modern system could save you £££s in the long run. Any improvements you can make to the insulation of your home should reduce your heating bills. In the short term turning the thermostat down a degree or 2 and popping a jumper on will help.

6. Old wiring and fuseboards. Old wiring with poor connections and accessories can use more power through arcing and heat build up.
