Why it can help

Small behaviour changes can reduce usage, although the financial effect depends on your tariff, home and consumption.

How to try it

Look at one area such as unnecessary lighting, standby use, washing temperatures or heating schedules and choose a practical change.

Things to consider

Keep homes adequately heated and ventilated. People with health needs should not reduce essential energy use just to chase a saving.
