Some advice and facts seen on the adviceguide site on how to be energy efficient.
|
If your house is centrally heated, you can make the heating more efficient and less expensive by upgrading your heating controls. A time switch or programmer allows you to set heating and hot water to come on only at times when needed. Room thermostats which automatically switch the heating off at a certain temperature will also save energy. Similarly, individual radiator thermostats can be fitted which allow you to control each room’s temperature separately.

| The most efficient boilers in terms of saving money are called condensing boilers which use 30-40% less fuel. |

Energy saving light bulbs can last up to ten times longer than ordinary light bulbs. They work by using less electricity but give the same light output as other bulbs and therefore save money – around �5.00 – �10.00 on each light over a year depending on usage.
