Energy efficiency tips for heating and hot water
1. Don't set the temperature too high…
By reducing the thermostat setting by just 1ºC can reduce
your energy use by as much as 10%. And if you're going
away for the winter, leave the thermostat on the frost protection
setting to provide protection from freezing at a minimum cost.

6. Treat your hot water tank...give it a jacket
An insulating jacket for hot water tanks only costs a few pounds
and pays for itself within months. Fit one that's at least 75mm
(3") thick and you could save £10-£15 a year.
