The cost of living crisis continues to affect everyone as energy bills are set to rise again this winter, which will add even more pressure.
2. Wash your clothes on 30 Washing your clothes at 30 degrees compared to a higher setting uses around 40% less energy. This is because your washing machine has to work harder to heat up the water to a hotter temperature. 6 . Use your dishwasher more efficiently Uswitch says there is “no absolute proof” to determine whether a dishwasher is more energy efficient than washing by hand.
9. Switch appliances off standby Your appliances still use energy even when they’re on standby - so make sure anything you’re not using is switched off at the wall. For example, your TV still draws power on standby so it can respond to signals from the remote control. To do this, you need a radiator key - which can be found at your nearest DIY store - and a cloth or rag to catch any water.
15. Fix any draughts Check the windows and under doors for signs of cool air entering your home. If the cold is coming in, then you’re wasting money trying to keep your home warm. Disney+ is here in the UK and if paid for an annual subscription can save viewers 15%, giving you access to Disney and Pixar films, and popular series such as The Mandalorian. New O2 customers, or existing customers who are upgrading their plan, can get up to 6 free months of Disney+.
18. Swap the bath for a shower Swapping a long bath for a four-minute just once a week could save you £12 a year on your energy bills, according to the Energy Saving Trust. You could also save an extra £7 on your water bills. 22. Keep your hob clean A dirty hob with burnt-on food and grease will use more energy, as it will take longer for the heat to come through. Always remember to give it a good clean to help lower your bill and cook time.
26. Keep the oven door shut Your oven loses heat every time you open the door - it then uses more energy to get it back up to temperature. Uswitch says an oven can sometimes lose as much as 25 degrees in heat when you open the door. 30. Switch to LED light bulbs Energy Saving Trust says you save between £1 and £4 per year for every traditional or halogen bulb you switch to an LED.
