Tips for energy saving
- Turn off appliances when they are not in use. Do not leave them on standby. Standby can use up to 20% on some inefficient appliances.
- Buy A rated appliances for your home. This can be a huge saving of €150 annually on your electrical bill.
- Turn down your heating. – by even 1 degree Celsius and it will shave you up to €150 per year of your money. A 10% saving.
- Buy energy efficient light bulbs (CFLs) instead of traditional bulbs – they use 1/5th energy and last up to 10 times as long. They will pay for themselves in under a year and from then on they are saving you on your electricity bill.
- Attic Insulate-insulating your attic will keep the heat in your home for longer and pay for itself in 2-3 years.
- Fit a lagging jacket-lagging your hot water tank will keep the water hotter for longer and will have paid for itself in a few months.
- Don’t overfill your kettle-boil only as much water as you need.
- Walk or cycle to work instead of driving-it costs nothing and it’s healthy for you.
- Use the clothesline when possible-Tumble dryers use a lot of energy.
- Buy Local Produce- A considerable amount of energy is consumed transporting produce around the globe, reduce this by sourcing food from a local farmers market and also help the local economy.
