Hi there
It pays to talk about energy!
Did you know, measuring your energy use can reduce it by >10%. That's a great start but did you also know that simply comparing energy bills with neighbours could cut it even more? How? It's all down to behavioural science and you can watch a great video about it here.
So, why aren't more people having this conversation? We asked Loop users to tell us about their experience - a big thank you to those that did! Our survey revealed:
- 75% have never discussed their energy bill with their neighbours.
- 77% haven't shared any tips with neighbours to save energy or improve energy efficiency.
- 90% don't know how much their neighbour's energy bill is.
- But 51% would find it useful to know how their energy use compares!
Having these conversations can encourage us to share cost-saving tips and be more aware of our use, especially if we know how much a comparable neighbour or friend is spending. So, get talking about energy!
