The festive season is here! It’s time to deck the halls, light up the tree, and keep your home warm and inviting. Festive cheer doesn’t have to come with a hefty energy bill. Here are some practical tips to help you save energy without sacrificing the magic of Christmas.
Avoid leaving your Christmas lights on all night by setting a timer. Program them to turn on as it gets dark and off before bedtime to save energy and prolong the life of your lights, while still spreading festive cheer.
Christmas cooking can fill your home with warmth, and guests bring plenty of body heat too! Lowering your thermostat by a few degrees during these times can save energy without compromising on comfort.
This simple tip keeps the heat in your pans when you’re cooking on the hob, helping to cook your food faster and reducing the energy needed.
When not in use, your chimney can let cold air in and warm air out, leading to higher heating bills. A draught excluder or chimney balloon seals the space, keeping your home warm and energy-efficient. Just remember to remove it if Father Christmas is coming!
LED lights consume up to 80% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs, and they last much longer! Better yet, opt for solar-powered Christmas lights for a more eco-friendly way to illuminate your home.
Embrace the charm of winter by turning off screens, wearing warm jumpers, and playing board games with your loved ones. Drink warm drinks like hot chocolate or mulled wine to warm yourselves up!
Every time you open the oven, the temperature inside drops significantly, and it takes extra energy to bring it back up. Use the oven light to check your Christmas roast instead of opening the door.
Winter days may be shorter, but sunlight can still warm and brighten your home. Open the curtains during the day to let in natural light and warmth, then close them at dusk to trap heat inside your home.
Installing draught proofing strips or sealant around windows and doors is a quick and easy way to prevent warm air from escaping. It’s a quick and inexpensive way to stay warm and cut down on your heating bills.
