Small initiatives you can undertake to reduce your energy output and help reduce costs:
Install smart thermostats and heating controls: Save up to £30/year with remote temperature adjustments via smartphone for better energy management.
Upgrade to energy-efficient appliances: Choose appliances with higher energy ratings (A is best) to lower electricity usage; for instance, switching from a C-rated to A-rated washing machine reduces energy by 25%.
Switch to double glazing to make your home more energy-efficient and comfortable. By installing double-glazed windows, you can reduce your energy bills by up to £145 per year, as they help retain heat and lower the need for constant heating.
Underfloor heating is an efficient, eco-friendly way to heat your home, offering consistent warmth, lower energy costs, and more space by removing bulky radiators.
LED Bulb Replacement: Swapping traditional incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs can significantly reduce electricity usage, as they consume up to 80% less energy and last longer.
Low-flow Showerheads: Installing low-flow showerheads reduces water consumption without sacrificing performance, lowering both water and energy bills due to reduced heating demands.
Heat Pump Water Heaters: Replacing a conventional water heater with a heat pump water heater can reduce energy consumption by up to 60%, making it a great long-term investment for cutting down on heating costs.
