How can we easily save energy in our homes ?24th May @ 11:20 There are plenty of ways to save energy every day in our homes. At this time of year we tend to use less anyway, so getting into the habit now means that by the time it comes to autumn and winter, you should be well practised and in the habit of turning things off and being more energy-efficient.• Turn off lights when you aren’t using them – if you leave a room for ten minutes, flick the light off. Those ten minutes four or five times a day can add up to many hours over a couple of weeks or months. • Use solar lights where you can – in the garden, solar lights can be just as effective and may be easier to keep. • Only boil/heat as much water as you need – if you only want to make one cup of tea, don’t half fill the kettle. It uses much more energy and can even damage your kettle if over boiled every time. • Turn the heating down or off – at this time of year, central heating shouldn’t really need to be on in most houses, at least not for more than one or two hours a day. Slippers and jumpers will help you feel warmer around the house. Categorised in: Lighting Advice |
