Top Tips To Save On Energy Bills

At T&K Home Improvements, we understand that the rising cost of living and ever-increasing energy prices are a concern for many people. Because of this, we’ve put together some useful advice and recommendations to help you save money where you can and alleviate some of the worry.

Save Money on Heating Bills 

In the colder months, you’ll be relying on your central heating to keep your home warm and comfortable. With rising energy prices, we’re all much more aware now of each time we turn the heating on. As such, anything we can do to reduce our reliance on our central heating will be important to consider, particularly when it comes to retaining the warmth that we’re generating and stopping cold air from getting through.

That’s where our double glazing comes in. If you currently have older windows and doors, you may find that they are underperforming when it comes to thermal efficiency. That means they’re letting you down when it’s important to be aware of energy consumption and save where you can. By upgrading your windows to double or even triple glazing, you’ll be making an excellent investment in the future of your home and helping you save money on your heating bills.

Around the House 

At home, there are smaller, daily, but no less important changes you can make that will add up over time and help you to save money based on your energy usable. For instance, you may want to be mindful of how often you boil your kettle, or if you leave lights or other electrical on when you leave the room. 

Other ideas include swapping out baths for showers, which use significantly less energy; only running the dishwasher when it’s full, so there are fewer cycles per week; and limiting your use of a tumble dryer and instead allowing your clothes to air dry inside or outside. Small changes like these add up over time.

When you actively make yourself more aware of your energy consumption and how much your practices are costing you, you might be amazed at how many little things you can change that will make a big difference. Getting a smart meter is a sensible way to track usage and increase your awareness. When you see how much you’re spending, you’ll be able to make clear decisions on where you can save.

Energy Efficient Windows & Doors 

While the smaller, day-to-day changes you can make to your lifestyle will undoubtedly make a positive difference to your energy consumption and bills, there’s no doubt that upgrading your windows is the most significant and meaningful improvement that you can make.

Older windows will let in the cold air and allow the heat that you’re generating with your central heating escape all too easily. That means that while you’re paying more to heat your home, far too much of it is simply escaping through your windows and doors, so you’re not even seeing the benefit of what you’re spending.
