Using lids on your pans when cooking will save energy and help heat the contents quicker.
Still using tungsten, halogen or fluorescent bulbs? Changing to LED lighting can save energy and money.
Remember to turn off the tap while brushing your teeth – a running tap wastes over 6 litres per minute.
Use the sun to reduce your heating bills. Leave internal doors open to rooms which trap the sun so the heat can spread to other areas.
When did you last test your carbon monoxide alarm? Make sure it works when you need it by testing it weekly. #TestItTuesday
