A Simple Guide To Energy Efficiency From Mitchell Glass

A Simple Guide To Energy Efficiency

This is an energy crisis like no other. In little over a year, we have seen our energy bills more than double, and worse was set to come, if only for the recent intervention of the Prime Minister, who decided to freeze the energy price cap at £2,500 a year.

It’s just as well that she did, as experts were estimating that the price cap could soon hit £5,000 a year. However, £2,500 annually is still an awful lot of money, a figure that many cannot afford to spend.

If the ever-rising cost of energy is keeping you up at night, Mitchell Glass has some top energy efficiency tips to help you save and sleep more soundly.

Take less time in the shower

Are you the type of person who likes to stand under a hot shower for longer than you need to? Try and get out of the habit of doing this to both help your finances and your skin.

Five minutes is sufficient time to shower and all your body needs, with even a regular two-minute reduction in showering time being enough to help you make a considerable annual saving. Timing your showers is a good way of ensuring you don’t stay in there too long.

Don’t stop drying clothes outside

It’s been a miraculous British summer, with far less rainfall than normal. During a (hopefully) wet-free winter, and when temperatures are high enough, using your washing line to dry clothes, rather than your radiators or tumble dryer, will cut your fuel costs.

Putting clothes on hot radiators is no good for your home anyway, as it leads to moisture building up and this moisture will appear as condensation on your windows.

The root cause of expensive energy bills will often be ageing windows and doors. If there’s a draughty feel inside your house, it’s definitely time to invest in a window and door upgrade.
