Hints and Tips

Typically around 80 % of a buildings energy usage is to heat the building and to provide hot water. Below are some tips to help reduce your energy usage and save money on your household bills.

• Seal the building to prevent excessive heat loss, but maintain air vents in working order. In the typical home 50% of heat loss is through drafts and open doors.
• Insulate the floor of your attic and access hatch. This is relatively cheap and easy.
• Upgrade your external windows and doors
• Install heavy curtains over windows and doors, close these at night. Ensure the curtains don’t cover the radiators.
• Service your boiler regularly. Regularly servicing your boiler will ensure it will run efficiently and prolong its life.
• Use energy efficient lighting and turn off unnecessary lights
• Use your electrical appliances efficiently.
• Dry clothes naturally. Try not to use a tumble dryer to dry clothes where possible. Dry clothes outside where possible or inside in a well-ventilated and heated room. Try not to place clothes on radiators as this prevents the heat reaching the room and is inefficient.
