Hi Hiya

 

Beat the Heat and Reduce Your Energy Bills!

 

As the weather heats up, many of us have been reaching for appliances to keep us cool. But fans, air-conditioning units and garden heaters could be costing some households £328 a month!

 

And for those lucky enough to own an inflatable swimming pool, a small 2kw pool heater could be adding an extra £166 every month!

 

A family of four would add £14 per month to their bills if they each use a 40w fan overnight. On a hot night that's probably money well spent though! However, those opting for the extra cooling power of AC units in each room could be spending a shocking 52 times more in comparison! 

 

With the high cost of living, understanding the true running costs of your appliances is more important than ever. So here are some simple ways for you to take back control of your summer energy costs, whilst still keeping your home cool and comfortable during the heatwave.

Turn off your cooling devices when you’re not using them. You don’t need to sacrifice your comfort. Just use things more efficiently.

Have a cool shower. Not only will it cool you down in hot weather, but you’ll use a lot less energy from heating the water too.

Keep your blinds and curtains closed during the day to block out direct sunlight. It will keep your home feeling cooler naturally.

Avoid using the oven, you’ll be creating more heat inside your home. Instead, opt for a cold dinner, use the microwave or, even better, a BBQ!
