Four tips to save energy

Martyn Bridges, director of Technical Services at Worcester Bosch, has some handy tips to help your customers save money on their energy bills.

The third quarter of 2023 is likely to see the average energy bill come down from record highs. And although we’re enjoying the summer months now, which means less dependence on home heating, it’s always a good time to get into good habits when it comes to heating usage.

Making changes to the home’s heating set-up can help save hundreds of pounds throughout the year. There are several ways to cut costs quickly and cheaply, helping to save energy and live more sustainably.

1: Take control

Turning down the room thermostat by 1°C could save up to a £105 a year and save 200kg of CO2 emissions. Aim for 17°C when the property is empty, and a cosy 18-21°C when people are at home.

2: Shorter showering

Cut down on showering time, ideally to around four minutes. A speedy shower will also significantly reduce the amount of water used. Taking the steps to use showers instead of baths and using a timer to measure how long the shower takes is a simple step towards lowering energy usage.

3: Keep heat in Keep that heat trapped inside the home. Don’t forget to draughtproof tiny gaps such as keyholes and letterboxes as well as windows and doors. Adding an insulated jacket to the hot water cylinder will reduce heat loss and keep the water hotter for longer. .
