Energy
Did you know?
- ‘Standby power’ used by products like microwaves, televisions and gaming consoles can account for 10% of your electricity bill. If it’s got a little light or clock – it’s using power. Running costs can be reduced by turning off appliances at the wall when they are not in use, getting rid of any additional fridges and freezers that are not needed, and drying clothes
on the line rather than the dryer.- For each degree heating or cooling is increased, energy use will increase by about 5% to 10%. To keep your bills in control, think about setting your heating thermostat from 18 to 20°C in winter and from 25 to 27°C in summer.
- You can make the most of the energy you’re using by closing internal doors and only heating or cooling the rooms you’re using.
