Ways to Reduce Your Bills

Small changes can make a big difference to your annual utility costs.

Electricity

  • Switch to LED bulbs to cut lighting costs by up to 80%
  • Turn off appliances at the plug rather than leaving on standby
  • Run washing machines at 30°C instead of higher temperatures
  • Use a smart meter to track your usage in real time

Gas & Heating

  • Turn your thermostat down by 1°C to save up to £100/year
  • Bleed your radiators regularly to keep them efficient
  • Draught-proof windows and doors to retain heat
  • Set heating timers to avoid wasting energy overnight

Water

  • Fix dripping taps — a single drip can waste 5,500 litres/year
  • Take shorter showers (4 mins saves a typical family £70/year)
  • Use a water butt in the garden to collect rainwater
  • Only run dishwashers and washing machines with full loads
