Simple tips to help slash your energy bills

With a big rise in energy costs expected by millions this winter as the price cap rises, many residents are worried about paying their bills.
One way to lower your energy bills in the long term is to make your home more energy efficient [ [link removed] ]. You can do this by installing insulation (for example in your loft or under your floors) or renewable energy technologies (such as solar panels on your roof).
If you?re not able to make significant changes to your home, here are some top tips to help you lower your bills:
* Turn the thermostat down by 1oC ? the Energy Saving Trust [ [link removed] ] recommends heating your home to 18-21oC
* Draught-proof gaps around doors and windows to keep heat in
* Keep furniture away from radiators to avoid them blocking the heat
* Bleed your radiators to keep them working efficiently
* Close your internal doors to reduce the amount of heat moving to colder areas of your house like hallways
* When a lightbulb needs replacing, switch to energy efficient LEDs which can save up to ?15 per bulb per year
The energy we use to heat and power our homes also makes up a large portion of an individual?s carbon footprint. Finding ways to reduce your bills can also help you to be more environmentally friendly and support Nottingham?s ambition to be carbon neutral by 2028.
