ERG’s Short Guide To Enhancing Energy Efficiency In The Home
This was some relief for the many millions of homeowners who were left panicking about being able to afford their energy bills this winter, but it perhaps doesn’t go far enough for a lot of people.
If you’re one of them and you’re worried that you will have to make a straight choice between heating and eating, ERG has some energy efficiency tips you can put into practice to stop this from happening.
Speed up those showers
The more time you spend in the shower, the more it will cost you in energy. Knocking just a couple of minutes off your showering time will save you money, and when you think about how many showers you have in a year, these savings can really mount up.
If you find it hard getting out of a hot shower, set a stopwatch and time it to go off in five minutes, which is the recommended amount of time for showering.
Continue outdoor drying
The dryness of this summer has probably given you the luxury of not needing to use your tumble dryer or radiators very much, and if the winter is as dry and warm enough, carry on hanging your wet clothing on the washing line.
You may not also know that indoor drying can be one of the chief causes of condensation, because of the moisture it creates when you have clothes draped on radiators or in the machine.
Update your windows and doors
As windows and doors get older, they become less and less effective at seeing off draughts and will often start to let heat from the indoors escape.
Do you feel cold indoors? This is the tell-tale sign that it’s time to invest in some energy efficient double or triple glazed windows and doors from ERG Scotland, which will put energy to better use and kill off draughts, cutting your fuel costs.
