Energy Savers Week

Energy Savers Week is 15th-21st January, so Citizens Advice and Energy Saving Trust have teamed up to bring you 5 top tips for saving money while keeping warm this winter.

1. Turn down your thermostat by 1°C and save around £105 a year on energy bills.

2. Switch your heating off when leaving the house for a few hours.

   • Its cheaper to reheat your home than keep your heating on low while you’re out.

3. Fit draught-proofing strips to your windows and doors to save around £45 a year.

   • This can be a cheap DIY job, which can help you feel warmer at home.

4. Get a hot water cylinder jacket and save roughly £50 a year on energy bills.

   • Jackets are easy to fit, typically under £30 and you’ll spend less on a hot water.

5. Keep furniture away from radiators and heaters to feel warmer at home.
