Energy is a bill you can reduce without changing how you live much.
Direct answer
To save energy at home, use less heating and cooling, block draughts, switch to efficient lighting, turn off devices on standby, wash clothes at lower temperatures and make sure you are on a competitive tariff. Small changes across many areas add up.
12 easy ways
- Lower the thermostat slightly.
- Heat only the rooms you use.
- Seal draughts around doors and windows.
- Use curtains to hold in heat or block the sun.
- Switch to LED bulbs.
- Turn off lights and standby devices.
- Wash clothes at lower temperatures when suitable.
- Air dry clothes where practical.
- Take shorter showers.
- Defrost freezers and clean fridge coils.
- Use lids when cooking.
- Review your tariff regularly.
Track the effect
Read your meter at the same time each week and see whether usage falls. That shows what is working.
