Here's my top 10 energy and power saving tips helping you to save money, reduce your carbon footprint and to live a more eco friendly life.
Make sure you are not standing by
Did
you know that an average family can save 150kg of CO2 a year just by
turning things off? Appliances in standby mode account for around 10%
of UK household energy use - so unplug devices when not in use, or
invest in a standby saver - it'll save you around £40 per year.
Energy efficient lighting
In most homes, lighting accounts for 10 to 15% of the electricity bill. Use a smart meter to compare the power consumption of normal light bulbs with that of low energy and energy saving light bulbs - you'll be amazed at the difference, and at how much you can save (about 80% of the energy of normal bulbs, actually).
