No cost ways to save energy...

Saving energy needn't cost a fortune. We've compiled some no cost and low cost ways for you to become more energy efficient.

Turn off everything not in use; lights, TVs, computers etc.
Activate the "sleep" feature on computers and office equipment
Regularly clean light fittings and lamp shades.
Only put as much water in the kettle as you need (but make sure the heating elements of electric kettles are covered!).
When cooking, turn down a boiling saucepan and put a lid on to reduce energy use and condensation. Better yet, use a microwave oven.
Have a bath instead of a shower.
Set the hot water thermostat to 60 degrees celsius
Close your curtains at dusk making sure not to cover radiators.
Close all doors in unused rooms
Only use washing machines and dishwashers when full.
Wash clothes at as low a temperature as possible.
Stop the dishwasher before the drying cycle and open the door to let the dishes air dry and always use the economy button where possible.
Defrost your refrigerator and freezer at least once every 6 months. Frost Build increases energy consumption.
