Washing with Ariel at 30°C saves up to 40 per cent of the energy used by your washing machine.
Is your water too hot? Your cylinder thermostat shouldn't need to be set higher than 60°C/140°F.
Close your curtains at dusk to stop heat escaping through the windows.
Don't leave appliances on standby and remember not to leave appliances on charge unnecessarily.
Only boil as much water as you need (but remember to cover the elements if you're using an electric kettle).
A dripping hot water tap wastes energy and in one week wastes enough hot water to fill half a bath, so fix leaking taps and make sure they're fully turned off!
Always turn off the lights when you leave a room.
If you're not filling up the washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher, use the half-load or economy programme.
Use energy saving light bulbs. Just one can save you £100 over the lifetime of the bulb - and they last up to 12 times longer than ordinary lightbulbs.
Turn your thermostat down. Reducing your room temperature by 1°C could cut your heating bills by up to 10 percent. You could save around £40 per year.
