It's Energy Saving Week

It's Energy Saving Week

October 17th is the start of Energy Saving Week. Read on for some great tips on what we can all do to contribute immediately.

Energy Saving Week is celebrated from October 17 to 23. It’s tough to ignore the reality that energy prices are rising.

Prices for most families are poised to climb significantly as part of the current gas price crisis, and with a change to the energy cap. Energy Saving Week is a national initiative that aims to aid and encourage individuals to save energy while also lowering fuel expenses.

The week focuses on educating the public on how to switch energy suppliers or tariffs to get the best price, get savings, and make houses more energy-efficient. Saving energy at home may lower both carbon emissions and energy expenses – urging people, schools, and organizations to help in making a difference.

ENERGY SAVING WEEK ACTIVITIES

  • Turn off lights when not in use

Change to L.E.D.
According to Energy Star, L.E.D. light bulbs consume up to 90% less energy than incandescent lighting. They are also a wise investment because they last 35 to 50 times longer than incandescent bulbs.

Add insulation to your loft and hollow walls
Examining your insulation, windows, and doors is one of the most effective ways of renovating your home for efficiency. Re-doing it may be costly, but not as much as the annual heating bills will be.
