Energy Saving Tips

Around half the energy used in the home is for heating and
hot water, so using your heating system efficiently will not
only help the environment, but also save you money!

Energy efficiency tips for heating and hot water

1. Don’t set the temperature too high…

By reducing the thermostat setting by just 1ºC can reduce
your energy use by as much as 10%. And if you’re going
away for the winter, leave the thermostat on the frost protection
setting to provide protection from freezing at a minimum cost.

2. Use it where you need it…

Set the appropriate temperature on your heaters for the room
they are in; for example, leave the thermostat on a heater in a
spare bedroom on a lower setting.

3. Use it when you need it…

Use heaters fitted with timers or linked to central controllers
to turn the heating on only when you need it and automatically
switch it off when you don’t.

4. Curtains…

Close your curtains at dusk to stop heat escaping through
the windows.

5. Windows…

Nearly 25% of heat loss can occur through poorly insulated
frames and single glazing. If you can’t afford to double glaze
all your windows, go for the rooms you heat most.

6. Water …

Use a shower if you have one to save time, money and water.

o

Don’t set the thermostat too high on your water heater - 60
140oF is usually adequate for bathing and washing.

Put the plug in when running hot water in your sink - leaving
hot taps running is both wasteful and expensive.

Ensure dripping taps are repaired quickly. In just one day,
you could waste enough water to fill a bath

C/

2. Cooking

Use the right size pan for the food and cooker hob.
Keep saucepan lids on - this enables you to turn down the

heat.
Boil water for cooking in a kettle.

Other Energy Saving Tips for Around the Home

1. Lights

Turn off lights whenever you leave a room for more than ten
minutes.

Use low-energy bulbs wherever you can as they use less
than a quarter of the electricity used by ordinary light bulbs
and last ten times longer!
