1. Switch Off Lights When You Leave a Room

It sounds obvious, but leaving lights on in empty rooms wastes energy and adds up fast. A simple habit of switching them off can save you money without any effort.

2. Use Power-Saving Mode on Devices

Laptops and phones have built-in power-saving modes that:

• Reduce electricity usage without affecting performance.
• Extend battery life, meaning fewer charges and lower energy bills.

3. Layer Up Before Turning the Heating On

Instead of immediately turning up the thermostat:

• Wear a jumper or grab a blanket—it’s free!
• Heating accounts for a big chunk of energy bills, so cutting back helps keep costs low.

4. Air-Dry Clothes Instead of Using a Tumble Dryer

Tumble dryers are one of the most expensive appliances to run. Save money by:

• Using a drying rack indoors.
• Hanging clothes near a radiator (but not on it!).

Bonus: Air-drying is gentler on your clothes and helps them last longer!

5. Stop Heat Escaping by Blocking Drafts

A rolled-up towel under the door can make a huge difference in keeping heat in. Other quick fixes include:

• Closing curtains at night to trap heat inside.
• Using draft excluders on windows and doors.
