Did you know your slow cooker is a secret energy saver? 💡

Compared to using an oven, a slow cooker uses up to 75% less electricity! That’s because it cooks low and slow, holding in heat efficiently and using steady, gentle power.

Next time you go to make a nice warm family meal, make it with your slow cooker and save energy and money!

Did you know your thermostat can be your biggest energy-saving tool?
Setting your thermostat correctly helps keep your home comfortable and your bills down.

✅ Lower your heating by just 1°C to save up to 10% on your energy bill
✅ Prevents your boiler from overworking — saving energy and extending its life
✅ Keeps temperatures steady, reducing damp and mould

💡 Top tip: Aim for 18–21°C when you’re home and awake, and turn it down while you’re asleep or out

Do you have damp or mold in your property?

They key to tackling damp and mold is ventilation. When cooking, taking a shower, drying clothes, make sure there is some sort of ventilation. This can be through air vents, extractor fans, or just slightly opening a window.
