Here's some more excellent tips!

1. Delay the need for turning on the heating by wearing more clothing - in layers not necessarily thicker clothing. Turn it off earlier in the spring by the same practice.

2. Adding loft insulation, and taking the heating down by three degrees can easily save 20% on heating bills - perhaps more.

3. Put a timer on your immersion heater (mechanically driven if you can get it - they are quite difficult to find but they ARE available). Ensuring that you keep it off at every available opportunity can save nearly as much as the last tip. Water immersion heaters are massive consumers of electricity.


A bit of philosophy... Some of these tips seem trivial, but THINK! Multiply these apparently trivial tips by 23 million (the number of households in the UK) and see how trivial that is!
