Save money and do some good for the world around you by using simple measures to conserve energy in the home. If you’re not sure where to start – don’t worry! We’ll be bringing you one great energy-saving tip every day for the next few weeks.
Wrap Up Warm
We all know that during this time of year the weather can be pretty unpredictable. One day the sun is splitting the trees, the next day, it’s -10C and we’re all shivering with the cold.
It can be hard cutting down on your energy costs when you’re trying to keep your home (and your family) warm at the same time, but there is one enviornmentally friendly tip that you can try.
During the cooler months of spring, most families have the heating on full blast and wander around their homes in t-shirts. Instead of being one of these families, dig out your jumper.
Turn down your heating thermostat by just one degree and wear a jumper or cardigan around your home. Your house will be slightly cooler but if you’re wearing your favourite fleecy jumper, chances are you won’t even notice it.
Oh and with this simple move, you could shave a whopping 10 per cent off your heating bill. Not bad, right?
