Property expert shares five essential energy-saving tips to offset loss of £67 rebate next month
Households are still facing a monthly energy bill increase of £67 from April despite the extension of the UK Government’s £2,500 Energy Price Guarantee until the summer. It had been due to rise by £500 to £3,000 at the start of next month, however, the Treasury announced the postponement ahead of Chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s Spring Budget on Wednesday.
She said: “With millions already unable to afford their bills and energy prices set to remain high in the years ahead, the government must now look at long-term solutions to this problem. Unplug unused electronics James Bell at Grainger plc said: “On average, British homes leave at least ten unused items switched on at any one-time, continuing to use electricity which could be saved by simply remembering to unplug. If you’re one for leaving your phone charger plugged in, with no phone connected, remember you can save money by simply pulling the plug.”
“Alternatively, you could invest in Wi-Fi connected plugs, which enable you to turn power in the home, on and off remotely, through use of a software application connected to your smartphone.” “Washing on a lower temperature such as 30C is an easy way to conserve energy. As are short eco-washes, which normally take 15 mins per cycle, shortening the length of time your appliance is in use. Alternatively, you could reduce use of your washing machine entirely to operate once per week.
