With energy companies increasing their prices to around 10%, it’s time to think of ways in which you could make your money last longer.

Here at Meteor Electrical, we want to give you a few tips in order to help you this winter;

1.      Talk to your energy supplier and see if there is another deal/promotion you could be on, or even considering swapping suppliers to help you save up to £300.

2.      Consider getting a home energy check, and seeing if there is anyway in which you might be able to save up to £250

3.      Make sure when using the washing machine you use full loads and use 30° cycles.

4.      When using the Kettle only use as much water as you need.

5.      Use Energy-saving bulbs, as they last up to 10 x longer and can save you around £40+ over the lifetime of the bulb.

6.      Did you know even turning down your thermostat by a few degrees could help you save money on bills by 10%.

7.      Paying by direct debit may allow you to save money depending on the company and bill size.

8.      Ensuring all hot taps are off will help make a difference, for example a dripping hot top could be more expensive than running one hot bath.

9.      Make your home more insulated by covering up gaps around windows/doors etc.

10.  Finally making sure that power is turned off when not needed, such as making sure you don’t leave lights on, switching off appliances from the plugs and disconnecting mobiles when they are fully charged.
