Switch It Off...at Home

Top Tips on Saving Energy at Home

We use energy for lots of things in our homes, things like kettles, lights and televisions to name a few. Switch It Off isn't about telling you to stop using them, but helping you to use them more efficiently.

Our Top Tips for Saving Energy at Home can help you see your energy bills plummet and at the same helping you play your part to tackle climate change. 

How Much Money can I save?  

Have you ever wondered how much money you can save by being more energy efficient?

To illustrate the savings you can make we have created the interactive Energy Saving House working in partnership with Warwickshire County Council and Coventry City Council.

The Switch It Off Family Challenge

A family from each district of Worcestershire have been supplied with a wireless electricity monitoring kit. This measures the power used by different appliances in the home and displays this on a small portable screen.

The families will keep a Diary during Switch It Off Week, where they'll discover the impact of switching off unused lights and appliances.

Join in!

It's easy to join in with the family challenge, all you need is an energy monitor and the Family Challenge Diary. You can purchase an energy monitor from any home wares/DIY shop for as little as £25! You can also rent them from your local library.

Or you could just download our simple Switch It Off Home Energy Check and find out how much energy you can save by switching off unused lights and appliances in your home. Why not email us to tell us how much you saved?
