Save energy, save money, it all adds up!

As the autumn approaches here are our pointers on how to save money on your energy bills.

Switch energy supplier

Have you changed supplier in the last three years?  If not you could save money.  Compare prices and change if necessary before the big winter bills set in. Visit www.utilitywarehouse.co.uk

Product efficiency
You could make 20% more tea using a more energy efficient kettle (statistics from British Gas)
When buying anything from a cooker to a kettle, it always pays to check the energy rating and the kwh/annum on the bottom right of the label.

Insulate your home
One of the most effective ways to cut your energy bills.  Based on a semi detached house you could save £140 a year by insulating your loft, and £160 with cavity wall insulation.  (www.energysavingtrust.org.uk) There is funding available if you meet the criteria.
