Save money on energy bills

Page updated on: 11/11/2024

Simple actions such as turning off lights, adjusting thermostats, and unplugging electronics when they are not in use can lead to significant savings on energy costs for households. These small yet impactful habits not only promote responsible energy consumption but also contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle.

Additionally, it is crucial to maintain adequate heating in homes, particularly during the colder, wetter months.

Proper heating prevents issues like dampness and mold, which can negatively affect indoor air quality and overall health. Turning your thermostat down to 18°C helps maintain comfort while reducing energy consumption. A general rule of thumb is that for every degree lower you set the thermostat, you could save around 10% on your energy bill, though it’s a good idea to verify this with a reputable source.

By adopting these straightforward practices, residents can enhance their energy efficiency, reduce expenses, and create a more comfortable and healthier living environment.
