Ways you can start saving money at home

Insulating your home – it’s important to make your home as insulated and free of draughts as possible so it’s more comfortable to spend time in it. For instance, if you have no loft insulation, installing 270mm of new insulation can really help retain heat in your home. It could also save you up to £225 a year on your energy bills.

Using heating controls – room thermostats and heating controls allow you to set and maintain the temperature in your home and make sure it’s warm for the times of day that you’re at home and switched off to save electricity when you’re not.

Water – if everyone in a household of four takes a four minute shower, you can save £55 a year.
