Little Issues That Can Be Big Problems! It’s easy to overlook the small day to day problems in your homes electrics and plumbing. But these issues add up and create massive waste which can so easily be avoided. Here’s some things to keep on your radar… ✅ Turn down your thermostat by 1 degree. EDF says this could save you around £80 per year. ✅ Ensure there is no air trapped in your heating system. Trapped air can make your heating system less efficient. 🚰 Sort out that dripping tap - Water Uk estimates that a staggering 5500 litres of water a year! 💡Make the switch to LED. A single LED lamp uses around 5 watts. Compared to an old fashioned 100 watt bulb you dont need to be a maths wiz to work this one out. ✅ Do you have blinds or curtains? Using them in the evening helps keep the heat in. ❌Buzzing sounds at switches or sockets - This is not good and should be checked by an electrician. It can mean a faulty connection which if unchecked could be a fire risk. ❌Halogen lamps - We really dont like these. Halogen lamps use massive amounts more electricity than modern LEDs. ✅ Get your pipes power flushed. Overtime sludge can build up in your heating pipes making the whole system less efficient. ✅Install RCBO trip switches These little devices are much more resilient against nuisance tripping. Nuisance tripping is an infuriating issue which if you have ever been unfortunate to have experienced would agree that it is like living in hell. Or Stevenage perhaps.
