Energy Saving Lighting & Appliances -How
they work
Energy saving light bulbs can last up to ten
times longer than ordinary light bulbs. They work by using less electricity but give the same light output
as other bulbs and therefore save money - around £5.00 - £10.00 on each light over a year depending on usage.
If you are buying a new appliance such as a
washing machine, tumble dryer or fridge you can find information on their energy efficiency by checking the Energy label.
All appliances must now display this information. ‘A’ rated appliances are the most energy efficient and although
these appliances may cost more, will give in savings in both energy and cash.
There are other practical measures you can take
to save energy. Always wait until you have a full load before operating the washing machine, and use a 40 degree wash most
of the time and you can make considerable savings.
