Get your energy back this spring by following our best tips

The clocks are turning and more daylight hours are in the near future. We could do to benefit of the changes in weather in order to conserve the environment, which is why we've put the top five strategies to cut the amount of energy you use (and your bill for energy) during springtime.

Make sure you put your clothing line back to the garden

If you are a regular user of the dryer to dry clothes, you can cost you as much as PS1.50 for a single cycle. It's quite a significant amount of energy! Even though the months of March as well as April and May across the UK may still be cooler days, did realize that it doesn't have to be warm outside in order for your clothes to dry? A breezy and dry day can dry your clothes well if you are outside early in the day and take them inside before sunset at the time that dew is beginning to form.

Make sure to review your heating plan

It can be a challenging season to regulate the temperature of your home due to the fact that it varies quite a little between daytime and night. However, with the increase in sunshine time, you could begin to consider setting the heating system to turn on earlier and last in shorter periods of time, in addition to lower the general temperature that you heat your house to.

Unfold the curtains

It is an easy yet very efficient method of making use of the natural heat of the sun to provide heat for your house. The days are becoming lighter and before the beginning of April, the majority of us are getting up early in the morning to enjoy the warmth of the sun. In winter it's tempting to keep the blinds and curtains shut all day long, when it's spring and you should make sure that you let them open so that you can enjoy the warmth of the sun at your home.

You must leave the home and explore the world

It's winter and we crave a cuddle in a blanket, and the thought of going outside for a day isn't one we are looking forward to. It is difficult to change the routine of returning home from work or school and turning on the TV and settle in for the night. With warmer evenings coming so why not turn off the lights on in your home at a young age - and instead start the habit of taking a stroll or a walk in the backyard. If we spend less time inside our homes more the energy we use. In addition, there are positive health effects of going out and doing some exercising.

Switch off the lights

We conducted a recent survey of 2000 UK adult population and they told us that they believe they turn off the lights on for three hours and 36 seconds each day. Based on the typical consumption of a household of 2700kWh of energy, it is estimated that our nation can power the homes of 125,856 for a whole year using light energy wasted. Imagine if every one of us could reduce that unneeded waste of light. What an enormous impact it could have on the amount of consumption of energy by the UK.

What better way to use the changing seasons to indicate a change in your attitude and spend some time to shut off the lights? A simple note with a postit on the entrance door could be enough to break the habit.
