Kettles are expensive to leave plugged in on standby.

Standby mode is not the same as switching it off. The appliance continues to draw electricity in the background. This can add over £5 to your annual energy bill.

Add up the cost of all the electrical devices you leave switched on at the wall but aren’t using annually, and you could be wasting as much as a typical three-bedroom UK home spends on gas and electricity each month - around £135–£155 on a dual-fuel fixed tariff.

It may seem practical to keep things handy and plugged in but may be wise to be standby savvy. 🤔😄

Don't feel embarrassed about reporting a scam – scammers are clever and scams can happen to anyone.

Being affected by a scam doesn’t just have a financial impact, it can impact you emotionally too.

Reporting a scam could help track and stop a scammer, and reaching out to talk to someone about what you’re going through and how you’re feeling can help 💙 ⤵️

Keep curtains open while the sun is out to let natural light and solar heat warm up your rooms...

Then, close at dusk (around 4 PM) - Draw your curtains shut as soon as it starts to get dark to trap the accumulated heat inside.

You can make this trick even more effective by using thermal curtains or adding a fleece or thick lining to your existing ones.

This simple habit helps cut down on drafts and can delay the time you need to turn on your central heating, saving money on winter energy bills.
