How a greener home = cheaper bills
Switch off and unplug and save up to £80 per year*
Leaving electrical items plugged in and switched off or on standby? They’re still using energy. Is powering your microwave’s clock display really worth £80 a year? No? Pull the plug when you’re not using it and while you’re at it, think about what other items you can unplug.
Switch shower head and save around £65 a year
If your shower works from your boiler or hot water tank, you could save cash by switching to a water saving shower head. Even better news is that your water company might give you one for free. And the even better news is that the more efficient shower head doesn’t affect the power of your shower.
Update your dishwasher and save around £12
Over a year, it costs around £12 less to run a typical new dishwasher than it does an old, inefficient machine of the same size- and it will use less water. Check whether yours needs an update. And always run your dishwasher on full to save on energy. Updating your dishwasher? Why not update your dishwashing tablets too? Read mum reviews of Fairy Platinum All In One Dishwasher Tablets
