Consumer experts, Which?, say that this announcement will mean that households consuming a ‘medium’ amount of energy will save around £1,000.
That’s some relief for homeowners, but energy will still come at a high price, especially when you consider that the average energy bill cost about half the cost of the new price cap only a year or so ago.
To help you try and keep your energy costs low, Hazlemere has some energy-saving advice to share:
Take shorter showers
When it’s cold outside, it’s tempting to stay under a hot shower for longer. But try and get into the habit of quickening your showers – even by a couple of minutes will make a difference.
Setting a stopwatch is a good way of making sure you don’t overdo it. See if you can get it down to 5 minutes to get yourself clean.
Hang your wet washing outside
It’s been the driest year in living memory and if that continues during the autumn and winter, it may give you a chance to peg out your wet clothes on the washing line, instead of throwing them in a tumble dryer or placing them on your radiators.
This will also prevent a build-up of moisture inside your house, something that can cause condensation to occur on your windows.
Get energy efficient windows and doors
The biggest and best energy-saving measure you can take is to upgrade your existing windows and doors to improve insulation levels.
All of Hazlemere’s window collections include energy efficient designs with above average energy ratings to help reduce your energy usage and lower your bills.
They’ll keep more of the heat produced by your boiler in the house, so that you don’t have to be as reliant on your boiler as you may be at present.
It’s critical that you get your old windows and doors replaced if they’re responsible for your high energy costs. Contact Hazlemere for a FREE quote for some energy-saving replacements.
