Most of the energy you use in the home is for heating and hot water.

Check if you've got heating controls that they're set to a comfortable level and that your heating is only coming on when you need it on because if it's on when you're out, it's just wasting energy.

Another thing you can do is make sure you're not leaving your appliances on standby because if we switch everything off standby, we could be saving ourselves about £25 a year.

As soon as it's 100% charge, you don't want to charging anymore.

So unplug it and switch off at the wall because you'll feel that the plug for the phone charger often gets warm.

It's getting warm then that's using energy.

If you learn how quickly your phone charges up, maybe you could find a bit of time in the day over lunch or in the evening when you're watching something.

The good thing actually about charging up outside the time when most people are using electricity is it's probably greener electricity you're using.

That might be worth thinking of putting on a timer switch.

A lot of it's common sense.

It's just thinking about it.

It's just been more conscious of it.
