Energy Conservation Tips

  1. Remember to switch the lights off when you leave the room.
  2. Adjust your heater controls to cool rooms down, don't just open.
  3. If you reduce your heating temperature by 1°C it can cut your fuel bill.
  4. If you need to replace your heating boiler, think of buying a more efficient condensing boiler that could reduce the energy you use by up to 30%.
  5. Insulate your loft with at least 400mm of insulation material. Make sure you lag any cold-water pipes in the loft, but don't lag under the cold-water tank.
  6. Have a shower instead of a bath - a shower uses much less water than a bath does, so it saves energy.
  7. Make sure that your hot-water cylinder is lagged with at least an 80mm lagging jacket.
  8. Don't leave your computer, printer, fax machine or photocopier on stand-by or overnight – switch them off.
  9. Don't leave mobile charges on charge unnecessarily.
  10. Why not walk, cycle or use public transport to get to and from work.
