How to Reduce Your Household Energy Bills

There are various ways in which to save money these days, but one way that we can all do it without cutting down on too much of the good stuff that we work so hard to be able to enjoy. One of these ways is by reducing your household energy costs. This is one area that all tenants and homeowners alike can not escape from and is often one of the easiest to save money if you know how. Keep reading for a quick guide on how you could save money on your household energy bills.




The first and most obvious solution to saving money is to ensure the heating system you have is as efficient as possible (you don’t have much control over this as a tenant, unfortunately). Some areas that almost everyone can save money include turning off all appliances that are normally on standby; fitting your shower with a water-efficient shower head; or using draught excluders.

Just by ensuring your boiler is set to the correct temperature and uses the correct setting could save you money. By lowering the temperature by just one degree on the thermostat will reduce your household energy cost. Another way to reduce costs is by replacing all old bulbs with CFL’s and all halogens with LED’s.

Some more drastic measures to see bigger savings include cavity wall insulation or investing in renewable energy sources such as solar panels to save money. Although the initial layout may seem high, you will soon see the return in savings on your household energy bills each month.




To save money on your hot water costs, firstly, try and use less by having timed showers or using an economy setting. A tank jacket can also save you money each year and keep hot water pipes insulated. Always ensure your settings are right on your boiler to ensure you are getting its maximum efficiency.

These may seem like such minor, trivial, things, but if you follow this guide as closely as possible, there is no reason why you shouldn’t see a considerable saving on your annual household energy costs. After all, every little help and even the small things will contribute to lower bills eventually.
