Keeping the oven door closed while you are cooking helps keep your oven at a stable temperature. It can also improve your cooking whilst saving you energy.

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.

Only fill your kettle with the water you need. You will save both water and energy.

Make sure your radiators are clear so they can heat the space efficiently. Curtains or furniture can easily block them.

Every degree you turn your home thermostat down could save you around £80 to £85 a year on your heating bill.

Switch off radiators in any rooms you are not using regularly and keep internal doors shut to save energy.
