If you are thinking of changing your tariff we can help with this:
• Review of tariffs available
• Using a cost-checking site
• Exploring other companies

For example:
• Turning standby switches off
• Switch off the kettle, iPad chargers etc at the wall (most kettles have a standby function which costs £4 a year when left switched on)
• Switching off lights when not in use
• Turning room thermostats down by 1 degree C
• Replacing light bulbs with LED
• Washing clothes on a lower temperature & when there’s a full load
• Harnessing the sun’s warmth - solar gain / passive heating

• Put lids on pots when cooking (reduces condensation)
• Check behind cupboards etc for damp patches
• Dry clothes outside as often as possible; even in winter when the air is dry & there is a breeze it is better to at least start the drying process outside to reduce the amount of damp in the house
• If drying clothes indoors try to keep them all in the same room with the door closed

• Only fill the kettle with the amount of water you need
• Switch off the kettle at the wall (most kettles have a standby function which costs £4 a year when left switched on)
• Switch off all appliances which have standby switches
• Use thick curtains (the Thrift Shop often has them, and we have a team of volunteers who can adjust them for you if necessary)
• Close curtains before its gets dark (ie before the temperature suddenly drops)
• Use LED light bulbs in the rooms you use the most
• Switch off lights when you're not using them
• Use a 'sausage dog' draught excluder or rolled up blanket under doors with draughts
• Stop other draughts, for example letter box, gaps where skirting boards meet the floor, pipe holes, door & window frames (NOT intended ventilation such as trickle vents in windows or ventilation bricks - a house still needs to breathe to allow damp out)
