Leaving an appliance plugged in and switched on at the wall still uses electricity. When you have finished with your appliance, switch it off at the mains to save money and energy.
You can also save energy and money by turning off lights when you leave a room. Over £140 million is wasted each year by leaving lights on in rooms not being used.
You can make a BIG Difference by making your home more energy efficient in a few simple steps:
- replace old light bulbs with energy saving ones
- only fill your kettle or pans with the amount of water you need to boil
- wash your clothes at a lower temperature
- only put full loads into your washing machine or dishwasher.
