Energy efficiency

 

Energy efficiency is a concept that revolves around the waste of transmissions, heat loss and inefficient technology; it’s one of the simplest forms of reducing climate change, as well as having the ability to benefit you financially. 

 

There are many ways that you can get involved and become more energy efficient in your own home – simply by using less hot water, switching fuel to gas rather than electricity/oil, and even getting solar panels fitted.

 

Other simple changes that can be made are to turn off lights during the daytime (or use energy efficient bulbs), invest in a smart meter (this is an in-home meter display, allowing you to read and keep track of your energy usage within your home), and even turning off plug sockets at the mains.
