Which then annually, this saving could be a whopping £1,226 pounds.

How else can you cut your energy bills?
While the cost of living crisis takes hold across the nation, there are small changes that can be made which may seem trivial but will add up when stretched over a year.
Switch to LED light bulbs, remember to turn your electronics off when not in use and turn your heating down by one degree.
If you're really serious about cutting down your usage, ditch the dishwasher in favour of hand washing your cups and saucers, dry your washing on the line or on an airer instead of using a tumble dryer and never boil a full kettle for only one cup!
