To the relief of many, the new Prime Minister recently announced a strategy to tackle the astronomical cost of energy, by freezing the energy price cap at £2,500 for a typical household.
However, most homeowners will still notice a sharp increase in energy costs from just a few months ago and for many households, this does not go far enough.
Which? has estimated that the new average unit rates (for direct debit customers) will be 34p per kWh for electricity with an average standing charge of 46p per day and 10.3p per kWh for gas with an average standing charge of 28p per day.
As winter creeps closer, many homeowners are looking for ways to reduce those costs, and therefore Joedan has put together a brief guide on simple ways to save energy (and money).
Cut your showering time
Limit the time you spend in the shower to reduce your energy usage. Even knocking as little as 2 minutes off your shower time can help save a noticeable amount of money.
Avoid using your tumble dryer
A tumble dryer is one of the most energy-intensive products in our homes and with this year being named one of the driest on record, there has been plenty of opportunity to dry our clothes on a washing line outside.
Invest in energy-efficient windows & doors
Poorly insulated windows and doors have a direct role in high energy costs. Older or poorly fitted windows and doors will allow the warmth from your heating system to escape through gaps in the frame. Replacing your old or faulty windows with new energy efficient ones will help to ensure your house stays insulated and will reduce energy costs.
At Joedan we only supply and fit the highest quality products available. By offering a wide range of PVCu and Aluminium windows and doors with key features such as polyamide thermal breaks and A-rated high performance glass, we can ensure the energy efficiency of your home will be transformed.
