Although we’re being told that the UK is coming out of a recession, times are still tough for many home and small business owners in Leeds. With this in mind, we thought we’d give a couple of simple yet effective tips for saving money on your electricity bills.
As mentioned in one of our recent blog posts, turning appliances and devices off at the mains rather than leaving them on standby is one of the most effective ways to reduce your energy bills. Switching off the washing machine, TV, games console or computer at the mains is a great way to save money in return for very little effort at all.
Installing energy saving light bulbs is another easy yet effective way to reduce your energy bills. LED light bulbs are also well worth considering and the price of these highly efficient bulbs is steadily coming down: when used in the right place, LED bulbs can prove to be a worthwhile investment.
It can also be worth thinking about installing a smart meter as a simple way to keep tabs on the amount of energy you use. The Government is planning for all homes in the UK to have had a smart meter installed by 2019 and smart meters are known to be an effective way to save money on both electricity and gas bills.
