Spring is here so it’s time to turn down the heating and think about removing a layer or two when leaving the house. Now that it’s getting a little warmer there’s even more ways of being environmentally conscious and save some dough too!
Hang around
Instead of wasting energy on drying your clothes in a dryer, take them outside and peg them up to dry, you get the lovely fresh smells of nature on all of your best threads!
Unplug it
Anything you’re not using, switch it off and unplug it… simple!
Get the cinema experience
When you’re watching a film or TV show, switch off all the lights, and surround yourself in cinema blackness. Message your mates, bang out the popcorn and enjoy a movie in your own home theater setting!
Clean your windows
If your windows are looking a bit… grimy. Then give them a good clean, the added sunlight will increase the temperature in your house. Also… you don’t want grimy windows right?
Keep your washing cool
Turn your washing machine to cold wash – which is from 20°C to 30°C. If you wash your clothes on 30°C you can save an average of 57% on running costs compared to a 40°C wash!
Following even a few of these simple steps will reduce your energy costs for the year. Under-using energy is not only good for the environment, but it’s good for your pocket! As Glide will refund you the energy you haven’t used. That’ll be a nice nest egg to splash out on during the summer!
