As more households are finding, a huge energy bill can really make a dent into the monthly budget. With so many electrical appliances within the house, it can sometimes seem impossible to keep your bills down so here are a few energy saving tips that should help:

• If you have a small family or live by yourself, always wait until you have a full load of washing before starting your washing machine or dishwasher. Same goes for your tumble dryer, always use an outdoor line where possible or alternatively buy a few drying racks. This will encourage you to use your appliances less, helping you to reduce your CO² emissions and cut your electricity bills.
• Double glazing and replacement windows can help to lower your energy bills by reducing the amount of heat that is lost from your home. If during the winter your property feels draughty and cold you could be spending hundreds of pounds trying to keep it warm and cosy. It makes sense in the long run to upgrade to energy efficient windows.
• TVs, computers, lights, fridges and freezers all contribute to the amount of electricity that your household uses. Have a quick walk around you home and check how many appliances are left on standby– you may be surprised.  Always try and make sure that electrical appliances are switched off when they are not in use.
• Conservatories have become hugely popular within the UK but even they can have their own energy problems. Make sure that you use energy efficient glass in the construction and consider installing conservatory blinds as they can help to absorb heat from your home and stop it form escaping.
