Save Energy In Your Home = Saving Money In Your Pocket

Saving Money At Home:


1.
Step 1: Draught Proof Your House

In an average house up to 20 percent of heat is lost through draughts*. To test an area simply hold the palm of your hand up against a door or window - if you feel cold air coming through, warm air is escaping. This is simple to fix and can save you hundreds on your yearly heating bill.

Fit draught excluders around all exterior doors and interior if need. Fill in any cracks or crevices on window frames, skirting boards or floors with a filler or sealant.

Closing curtains or shutters after dark fall also traps in the warm air and prevents draughts.
2.
Step 2: Turn down the thermostat

Turning your thermostat down by just 1 degree can reduce your energy consumption by over 5 percent*. You won't even notice the difference in room temperature

On the same note, don't heat rooms when you are not using them.
3.
Step 3: Hot water temperature

Your hot water thermostat needn't be higher than 60 degrees centigrade, that's 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Any higher and you will only be mixing it with cold water to cool it back down for use.
