Homeowners have been urged to take a look at how much energy they use unnecessarily in the house.
Benjamin Fry, presenter of Spendaholics, said being more energy-efficient could have a number of positive effects.
Besides the environmental benefits, he stated that using less energy in the home could save consumers money in the long run.
This could be particularly important to those who are feeling the pinch amid the current economic downturn and looming fears of a recession.
Mr Fry has recommended a number of energy saving measures, such as installing draught dodgers to stop heat escaping through gaps in floorboards and skirting boards.
In addition, he suggested that people make sure they get their walls and loft insulated, as this again would reduce the amount of wasted heat.
Mr Fry added that switching to a more efficient boiler could also be a good idea, as modern devices waste less energy than their older counterparts.
