Then, if you do nothing else before October, consider these three points:
1. ⚡ Understand your Phantom Load
Phantom Load is our name for the energy used by appliances left on or on standby. This could be adding £450 to the average household's energy bill. Start by learning which energy-hungry devices are contributing towards it, then take action. We calculate your Phantom Load for you so you know exactly how much you might be wasting.
2. 📊 Monitor your usage: If you measure it, you can control it!
Simply seeing how much your energy is costing you each day has an impact on how much you use and it will help you spot the ways to reduce it. It’s called the “feedback effect”. On average, Loop users cut their usage by 10% - a better understanding of the relationship between usage and cost is a big part of this.
3. 🏠 Improve your home's insulation
Check for draughts and ensure your loft has the recommended 270mm of loft insulation. If it doesn’t, for many that will be a relatively easy upgrade that will pay for itself in record time. Heat is expensive, so hold on to as much of it as you can.
