While you won’t be able to completely counteract climbing bills, you still might be able to save some money
With households being warned that they could face an annual energy billEnergy consultant Cornwall Insight says a regular gas and electricity bill in England, Wales and Scotland could reach £3,615 in the new year, after previous predictions had bills rising to £2,800 for the average household in October.
“While draught proofing or using an eco-wash cycle will save a few pounds, it won’t help people cope with the rise in energy bills [over the last] 12 months. The UK government must step in and increase support now if people are to stay warm and safe this winter.” “Energy-saving light bulbs are just as bright as the alternatives, and will save you money. You should also evaluate where your furniture is positioned. If a sofa or armchair is in front of a radiator, this will absorb the heat rather than it spreading across the room. Placing draft excluders in front of doors will help keep the heat in the room.”Again, not everyone will be able to spend money on smart tech – but if you can, it could save you some cash in the long run.
