💡 Save Energy, Save Money! 💡

At The Intact Centre, we're proud to partner with Cadent to help our community stay safe, warm, and energy efficient.

Small changes around the home can make a big difference to your energy bills:

✅ Only boil the water you need in the kettle
✅ Turn your thermostat down by 1°C where comfortable
✅ Wash clothes at 30°C and only run full loads
✅ Switch off lights and appliances when not in use
✅ Take shorter showers and save both energy and water
✅ Use energy-efficient LED bulbs
✅ Draught-proof windows and doors to keep heat in

These simple actions can add up to significant savings over the year while helping to reduce energy waste.

Together with Cadent, we are committed to promoting energy efficiency and supporting residents to stay safe, warm, and independent in their homes.

🎥 Watch the video below for more energy-saving tips and practical advice from Energy Saving Trust on how a few simple changes can help reduce your household bills.
