Energy Saving Ideas
As a non-profit organisation we can support every household to save energy and money. Try these ideas below to make your home warmer.
Cook a meal for a family using 6 minutes of energy
Cooking uses a lot of energy! Use this simple measure to reduce your cooking time.
Your radiator is heating the wall!
As heat energy enters the wall you lose a portion of the heat that you have paid for. Follow this video to see how more heat can be directed into the room.
Secondary glazing is expensive
These packs of clingfilm help to trap air which can double the effectiveness of your windows. Watch, learn and save.
