Here are some other useful tips to help save energy, save money.

1. Switch off standby

You can save around £40 a year just by remembering to turn your appliances off standby mode.

2. Only boil what you need.

Avoid overfilling the kettle and save yourself £8 a year on your electricity bill.

3. Take it slow.

To save energy (and lessen the need to cook when you get home after work), try using a slow cooker to cook throughout the day – they only use about as much energy as a light bulb.

4. Do full laundry loads.

Half-load settings save very little energy, so a full load is much more energy efficient. Do fewer (but fuller) – wash loads instead.

5. Make your showers shorter

This will save both water and the energy needed to heat it.
