Building habits now could reduce your energy bills over the colder months
Prime Minister Liz Truss recently announced that the typical UK household will pay no more than £2,500 a year for energy for the next two years from October as the UK Government responds to soaring gas and electricity prices. However, it’s worth noting that if you use more energy, you will pay more and if you use less, then you will pay less.
Energy Saving Trust calculates that you can save around £55 a year just by remembering to turn your appliances off standby mode. Doing this will allow the boiler to run more efficiently and could save around £200 off an average energy bill. Wash clothes on a lower temperature setting Washing your clothes at cooler temperatures, and for less time, can greatly increase your machine’s energy efficiency - a 30 degree cycle can cut your washing machine’s energy use in half, in comparison to a 40-60 degree cycle.
An overfilled washing machine may not wash your laundry thoroughly enough, and an overpacked dryer can take too long to dry your clothing. Defrost your fridge and freezer Remember to regularly defrost your fridge and freezer as the more they ice up, the more energy they will use.
