Temperature control

- Cleaning air filters on heaters and coolers to allow them to work more efficiently

- Close doors in your house and only heat or cool the spaces being used
Lighting and appliances
- Turn off lights when not in use
- Only boil the amount of water in a kettle that you plan to use
- Turn off electrical equipment (including laptops and monitors) at the power point rather than leaving on standby
- Switch your computers energy-saving mode on (if possible), which lowers power consumption
- Be sure to fill your dishwasher and washing machine before running them
- Use a cold water cycle for your laundry loads and the lowest temperature on the dishwasher whenever you can
- Hang your clothes outside to avoid using a clothes dryer
- A fridge works more efficiently when full, so add pantry items to take up space if you need to
