Reducing electricity costs is a key concern for many at the moment. In two-person households, inefficient energy use can particularly add up to high energy bills. In this blog, we discuss some practical tips to help you track and manage your energy usage more effectively.
TRVs allow you to control the temperature in each room individually. Install them in rooms used less often to save on heating costs without sacrificing comfort.
Setting your thermostat to match your lifestyle can help cut costs. Use automatic timers to adjust the heating based on when the house is occupied or asleep.
Smart meters offer easy-to-follow information on your electricity usage on screen in your home, helping you spot those high-consumption time periods.
LEDs use a fraction of the energy traditional bulbs do and last much longer, cutting down both on replacements and electricity usage.
When it’s time to replace appliances, go for energy-efficient models. Look for those with high energy efficiency ratings for more savings over time.
Devices left on standby still use energy. Unplug electronics or use power strips to cut power completely when not in use.
Make the most of daylight by opening curtains or blinds during the day, especially in rooms that are frequently used.
These tips are just a starting point for two-person households aiming to reduce their electricity bills. For a more detailed assessment of your energy use, we recommend booking a LEAP Energy Advice call. Our trusted advisors are ready to find the quickest ways for you to save on energy costs.
