Thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) help ensure your heating is evenly distributed where you need it. Check them to make sure they are set properly so each area reaches the temperature you need and gets no hotter.
Washing a small load of clothes? Check you washing machine’s settings to see if you can use the “half load” programme to save water and energy.
