At Notaro Windows we appreciate that sometimes the utilities are a little higher than you’d like. As specialists in windows and doors in Somerset we have searched high and low for the best energy saving tips in the land.
Take your electrics off standby
It’s either on or off, no in-between. The cost of running all your electricals slowly adds up over time. This quickly becomes a great energy saver if you take into account all of your electric items. You could save between £45 and £80 on your bills. If you’re not in the room, turn it off. This goes for everything; the television, the kettle and the iron.
Did you know? Your iron is one of the biggest energy guzzlers so don’t leave it on while you’re making a cuppa in the kitchen.

Use energy efficient bulbs
Although they take a little longer to kick in you’ll start to see the pennies you save quickly turn to pounds as you can get an 80% energy saving out of one bulb. Alternatively you can use LED lighting which can give you up to 90% energy saving. LED lighting turns on instantly and is less harsh than its eco-bulb counterpart. You can also save money by installing energy efficient windows in Somerset.
Buy a draught excluder
Your front door and back doors are one of the biggest sinks of heat possible. Make sure you eliminate draughts by stopping them before they enter your home. It doesn’t have to be expensive, you can get a cheap one from the 99p shop if you like or if you want something sturdier or long lasting, you can visit a department store and take your pick. Banning draughts from your house could save you up to £30 a year!
Following these tips will save you money on your utilities but to truly win at the game of bills you need to have an adequately insulated home. Are your windows double glazed? Are your walls insulated? Does your door let in as little cold as possible? Find out more about double glazing in Somerset with Notaro Windows.
