• Low Energy Light Bulbs (CFLs) use about a 1/4 of the electricity that a normal bulb uses, lasts about 8 times as long and will save about £8- £10 per annum. 

• A Hot Water Tank Jacket will cost only a few pounds and will save about £20 per annum in water heating costs.

• Pipe Insulation will save about another £5 -£10 per annum.

• A dripping hot tap can waste as much as a full bath of hot water in just one day - spend a few pence and fix it quickly.

• Reflective foil behind your radiators will stop the heat going into the wall and reflect it inwards where you want it.
A shelf above will also help to push the heat into the room.

• If you haven't got one already, fit a shower- it will use about half the hot water a bath does and will save you about £10 per annum.

• Draughtproof doors, windows, letterboxes and even keyholes and seal gaps around skirting boards and between floorboards.

• Fit a Room Thermostat and set it to between 18°C and 21°C depending on the room it is located in.

• Fit a Programmer instead of a simple timer.  It will allow you to control space heating and water heating separately and will allow several on/off operations each day.

• Fit TRVs to every radiator (except in the room where the room thermostat is) and ensure that they face away from the radiator not upright alongside the radiator.
