7 Energy Saving Tips
2. Get smarter with your housework
When it comes to energy efficiency, every little helps. And there are plenty of small things you can do around the house which will help save energy. Regularly defrosting your fridge and freezer will help them work at peak efficiency.
Don't leave the door open for any longer than necessary or you'll let cold air escape. Dusting down the element at the back of your fridge aids heat exchange, helping it work more efficiently.
There are plenty of ways to save energy when cooking too. Use the right size pans for your food and keep the lids on to avoid losing heat. Wash full loads wherever possible. If you can't avoid it, use the 'half load' or 'economy wash' button.
