5 Simple Ways to Lower Your Home Electricity Bill
Electricity bills in the UK are rising every day. However, with small changes in your daily habits and ensuring your system is efficient, it is possible to save up to 30% on your energy costs.
1. Switch to LED Bulbs
Old-style incandescent bulbs convert most of the energy into heat rather than light. LED bulbs use 80% less energy and last much longer. If you need help replacing high-ceiling fixtures, check out our Lighting Installation services.
2. Unplug Unused Electronics
TVs, computers, and chargers continue to consume "vampire energy" even when they are turned off. Unplug devices when you are not using them to prevent unnecessary drainage.
3. Check Your Fuse Board
An outdated fuse board (consumer unit) can be inefficient and dangerous. Modern panels handle electrical loads better. Learn more about our Panel Upgrade services.
4. Efficient Appliance Usage
Do not run your washing machine or dishwasher until they are full. Also, prefer "Eco" modes whenever possible to save water and electricity.
5. Get a Professional Inspection
Faulty wiring not only wastes electricity but poses a fire risk. Regular testing ensures your system runs at peak efficiency.
Old wiring can cause current leakage, which is dangerous and expensive. If your home is over 20 years old, contact us today for a comprehensive safety inspection in London.
