This week is National Energy Saving Week, and we want to remind you how you can make a difference to both the environment and your electricity bills by doing small things. Here are a few easy tips for saving energy:
- Turn off the lights: make the most of daylight and remember to turn off the lights when you leave the room.
- Unplug appliances. Unplug chargers and other electrical appliances to reduce unnecessary consumption.
- Choose energy-efficient appliances: although they may cost a little more, energy-efficient appliances use less electricity in the long run.
- Make use of residual heat: When cooking, using residual heat and favouring the microwave will reduce energy consumption.
- Adjust fridge and freezer temperatures: Correctly set temperatures prevent unnecessary energy consumption.
- Keep the room temperature moderate: Consider using a blanket or sweater if the room feels cool, rather than raising the temperature.
- Move smart: Cycle or walk short distances - it saves energy and improves your well-being at the same time.
