| Energy is a costly commodity – and it’s not
just a financial burden. The process used to generate our electricity
is one of the major sources of carbon emissions in the UK. So at a time
when we’re trying to cut carbon, it’s good to know that we
can play our part (no matter how small) in reducing our consumption of
electricity.
If you’re serious about saving energy then you’ve come to the right place. We know it’s not just about the money; and the good news for energy consumers is that you can afford to be principled and still look after your own interests. On the next few pages, we’ll show you how to minimise energy wastage and make more of your resources. Take us up on just one of our energy saving schemes and you will save money; whether or not you’re in it for the financial incentives! |
Now, charity begins at home – and so does the fight against excessive energy use. To find out how to cut home wastage by a third, click here. Elsewhere there are plenty more big savings to be made. As consumers, for the most part, we just don’t know where to start. We’re not really made aware which of our home comforts are the biggest home culprits! The general rule of thumb is this: turn off and tune out. Turn lights out and appliances off. Stand by settings can cost us about six per cent of our annual fuel bill! Even turning your thermostat down by a single degree will potentially reduce your home heating bill by about ten per cent. The savings don’t stop here.
