Eco Kettle: Consider replacing your standard kettle with an eco-kettle. These handy gadgets use vacuum flask technology to keep water hot for longer.
Energy Egg & Solo Plug: Invest in an Energy Egg - this motion detector reduces your energy bills by wirelessly switching off electric appliances or lights when you leave the room. Typical Saving: Up to 30% on connected devices.
Boiler: Around 55% of home energy costs are related to your boiler. Get yours serviced annually to make sure it is working efficiently and reduce the chance of expensive breakdowns or maintenance issues.
Microwave: Research has shown that heating food up in a microwave rather than using the oven could save you money. Typical Saving: Uses about 50% less energy.
Chimney: Block your chimney or invest in a chimney balloon to reduce the amount of heat that is lost through your chimney. Typical Saving: Up to £153 a year.
Radiator: Look after your radiator! Bleed radiators regularly to make sure they are working as efficiently as possible.

Cavity Wall Insulation: Take advantage of free cavity wall insulation as part of government-backed schemes. Typical Saving: Up to 15% on fuel bills.
Light Bulbs: If you’re still using incandescent lightbulbs, it’s time to make the switch to LEDs. Typical Saving: Incandescent bulbs use up to 75% less energy.
Plug Sockets: Unplug devices when they aren’t in use. Even if your TV is on standby it’s still using power - it all adds up!
Windows: Natural light is free light! Take advantage of the sun during those summer months rather than automatically switching on lights.
Shower Pressure: One high-pressure shower could use more energy than a bath – turn down your water pressure to save on those bills.
