If everyone gets involved with energy saving and whole communities start to think about the way they use electricity, heat and water, the potential to lower energy cost and cut carbon emissions is substantial.
Simply making a few minor changes in your habits can be one of the most effective ways to start saving energy and you’ll soon be looking for more and more ways for yourself to save money and reduce your carbon footprint.
Your first step to a more energy efficient home should be to understand how you use energy and what it costs. Once you realise how much energy is wasted by some appliances around the house, you’ll be in a better postion to asses where you can make a difference.
A good place to start is your utility bills – you need to know how much you’re paying normally, so that you will be able to keep track of the savings once you implement your new energy saving regime.
