Please note these figures do not take into account the original outlay of money spent on the products and also that some are figures provided by the manufacturers.
You can save money also by using timers on central heating, lowering thermostat by 1 degree, placing aluminium foil behind radiators, using 30 degree wash cycle, wringing out or spin dry wet washing before tumble drying, using
low temperature programme on your dishwasher, switching appliances off and not leaving on standby eg TV’s (can save up to £37 per year), switching lights off when not in use, closing curtains at dusk, installing a shower timer.
