To avoid the bill shock that can sometimes arrive in time with your next energy invoice, there are a few things that you can do to reduce energy consumption and the costs associated with it.
Fix draughty area
Look at areas where draughts may be prevalent in your home, typically under doors and windows. Around 40% of heat from the home escapes from windows and if you are a homeowner you may consider investing in double glazing which can bump up the energy efficiency of your home and have the added benefit of reducing sound.
If you are renting, many hardware stores have solutions for draught excluders around windows and doors.
Thicker curtains can keep colder air at bay and thicker rugs over hardwood floors can provide a cost-effective insulation approach.
Check hot water
Hot water usage can contribute a substantial amount to energy costs. Tips like adjusting the temperature as well as washing with cold water or ensuring that you are only washing full loads are key to reducing those energy outputs.
Turn off appliances
Appliances in standby mode, not in use, can still use energy. Even your phone charger that is switched on at the wall and not in use is still generating power.
If you are not using the appliance or going away, ensure that you are switching appliances off at the wall to reduce the energy consumption being used by those appliances.
Price check your c current plan
There is a myriad of energy suppliers in the market now. Check your current electricity and gas bills to make sure that you are getting the best deal and negotiate to find the best solutions for you.
Swap your light bulbs
Where possible, make the switch with your light bulbs to those that are the most energy-efficient for the types of light fittings that you have in your home. More energy-efficient bulbs use as much as 75% less electricity and have the added benefit of lasting longer, which means replacing less often.
Making a few small changes in our living spaces and habits can assist with reducing those energy bills and adds to one less shock the next time you receive your electricity or gas bill.
