Energy and Water Saving Tips

Saving energy and water in your home does not have to cost you thousands of pounds, some are even free. Please see my list of energy and water-saving tips below.
Also, while I'm at your home, please don’t hesitate to ask for more tips and I will guide you to the best of my ability.

Dripping Tap

Fix Drips and Leaks

A dripping tap wastes at least 5,500 litres of water a year - enough to fill a paddling pool every week for the whole summer. Get all drips and leaks fixed!

WC Flush Upgrade

Upgrade Old WC Flush

Upgrade your old WC flush to a water-regulated flush. This uses less water to flush a toilet. Dual flush valves are a great way of saving water!

Boiler Temperature

Adjust Boiler Temperature

Turn your boiler water temperature down to around 55 degrees to save on energy costs.

Turn Off Lights

Turn Off Lights

Turn your lights off when you’re not using them or when you leave a room. Upgrade to LED energy-efficient bulbs to save even more!

Washing Machine

Use Your Washing Machine Efficiently

Use your washing machine on a 30-degree cycle instead of higher temperatures. Avoid using a tumble dryer when possible.

Shorter Showers

Take Shorter Showers

Keeping your shower time to just 4 minutes could save a typical household £55 a year on their energy bills.
