Switch off electrical appliances when not in use and avoid leaving
them on standby;
- Turn your central heating thermostat down by 1 degree- it could
save up to 10% on your fuel bills;
- Shut fridge and freezer doors and defrost regularly it will
help improve them run more efficiently;
- Always try to have a full load of washing in washing machines,
dishwashers or tumble driers, if not try an economy or half load
setting;
- If you can- install a water butt to collect rain water, to use
less water when flushing your toilet put a savaflush in the
cistern, turn off the tap when washing your teeth, and arrange for
leaking taps to be repaired;
