You can reduce your household gas and electricity bill by following our energy saving tips:

1. Open your curtains in the morning to let the sun shine through south-facing windows.
2. Close your curtains at dusk to stop heat escaping.
3. Switch off lights in empty rooms. Up to 20% of your energy bill could be lighting.
   
4. Avoid covering radiators with clothes or curtains. This will prevent the energy heating the room.
5. Buy energy saving light bulbs - they last longer than ordinary bulbs and use up to a fifth of the electricity.
6. Draught-proof your windows and doors - draughts can be fixed quickly and easily.
