Tips on saving energy
- Do not cover radiators.
- Do not hang curtains in front of radiators.
- Install reflective panels behind the radiators to prevent heat loss.
- Insulate the pipes in rooms that are not heated (cellars and lofts).
- Install loft insulation & double glazing.
- Use draught excluders where necessary.
- Upgrade any older boiler external controls.
- Turn down room thermostats by 1°.
- Turn off radiators in rooms not in use.
- Do not run hot (or cold) water pointlessly.
- Fit a water-saving shower head to save up to 40 % energy.
- Take showers rather than baths. A bath consumes twice as much water and energy.
