Yesterday was National Cut Your Energy Costs Day. We can advise you of new energy efficiency measures while carrying out your project such as replacing old windows, upgrading your boiler, installing solar heating and extra insulation but in the meantime here are some things that you can do in your current home:

- Properly maintain your boiler;
- Turn down thermostats;
- Turning off lights when leaving a room;
- Use energy-efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs;
- Run dishwasher and washing machine only when fully loaded;
- Lower water heater temperature;
- Take shorter showers;
- Unplug unused appliances.
