Summers on the way, lets save some more energy

As summer arrives it's time we all got out of our winter habits and started to save some more energy. Thanks to the longer hotter days it's possible to save energy in all kinds of places.

For a start you won't be needing to leave the lights on around the house as much and by now any lights you do have on should be power saving anyway. A second big difference you could make would be by adjusting your heating controls. Now it's warmer for longer and the temperature outside is generally higher you should think about changing the timer on your central heating system to come on a bit later in the day and go off a bit earlier. If your house has reasonable insulation then it really shouldn't take much heating. Also think about turning the thermostat down a couple of degrees too, just for good measure.
