Bon Accord Glass’s Guide To Saving Energy This Autumn / Winter

Energy saving tips that will lower your usage

Upon taking office, one of the first actions of our former Prime Minister, Liz Truss, was to announce that she would be freezing the energy price cap at £2,500 a year.

It will have come as a relief to you, if you’re a homeowner, as the price cap was set to rise again in January to well over £3,000, and who knows how much more expensive it would have been after that!

If your house consumes a ‘medium’ level of energy, the consumer team at Which?, says this move by the Prime Minister will see you save about £1,000, but is that enough of a saving for you?

Like pretty much everyone else, you will still be paying far more than you did just a year or so ago.

To extend that saving, just follow these energy-saving tips from Bon Accord Glass.

Take speedier showers

Are you guilty of sitting under the shower for too long? This isn’t just bad for your skin, but it’s also why your energy bill is higher than it should be.

Knocking just two minutes off your showering time will be a money-saver, and it’s actually recommended that you only shower for around five minutes.

Make use of your washing line

It was a very arid summer and if it stays relatively dry over the coming weeks and months, it might just give you the chance to keep hanging your washing outside.

Allowing your clothes to dry naturally, rather than reverting to use of a tumble dryer or your radiators will lower your energy consumption, and in any case, one of the biggest causes of condensation is the moisture generated by placing clothes on radiators and in tumble dryers.
