Save energy and money
- Make small changes to the way you use energy at home – Turning off lights when you leave a room, investing in draft excluders, switching to LED lightbulbs, buying energy efficient appliances or only filling the kettle to the amount you need all reduces the amount of energy you use and can help you save money on your bills.

Ecotricity and Octopus are suppliers that provide 100% green energy. To find out more come along to one of our energy events where you can speak to one of our advisors.
- Installing home insulation – This is one of the best ways to keep the heat in, and the cold out. There are many types of insulation available, if you aren’t sure where to start check out our Energy Saving FAQ’s.
