Like many people in the UK, you may not realise that your water use contributes towards your energy bills.
Not only can saving money reduce your water bill (if you’re on a meter) but it can also reduce your energy use and bills and your impact on the environment by reducing carbon dioxide emissions by using less energy to heat the water. According to the Energy Saving Trust, heating water for use in our homes makes up around 4% of the UK’s total carbon dioxide emissions each year.
Tip: if you have both a boiler and an immersion heater, use the boiler to heat water, even in the summer. Immersion heaters are generally more expensive and should only be used as a backup.
It’s easier thank you think to save water. By making some simple changes at home, you can save energy and money.
The Energy Saving Trust have put together five quick tips to help you save money on your hot water bills.
