💡 Switching to LED bulbs is one of the fastest ways to lower your energy bills. On average, residential LEDs use 75% to 90% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs.

While old-fashioned bulbs lose roughly 90% of their energy as wasted heat, LEDs convert 90% of electricity directly into light. By replacing every bulb in a standard home, you can expect to save between £40 and £65 per year!

⚡️ Ready to make the switch?

If you are aged 60 or over and live in Manchester, you may be eligible for up to 8 free LED lightbulbs for your household.
