🎶 On the first day of Christmas, my energy advisor said to me... switch to LEDs for your tree! 🎶 #

Did you know? 💡 Switching to energy-saving bulbs like LEDs or CFLs not only keeps your Christmas lights shining bright 🌟 but also helps you save money and energy all year round! Don’t stop at the tree—check all your lights around the house too. 🎅🔍 

🎶 On the second day of Christmas, my energy advisor said to me... can you turn your heating down by one degree? 🎶 🔥➡️❄️ 

Fun fact from our friends at The Energy Saving Trust: Dropping your thermostat by just 1°C could save you up to £80 a year 💷! Most people find 18-21°C the perfect temperature to stay comfy and cozy. ☕🧣 

Give it a try—you might not feel the difference, but your energy bills certainly will! 🎁💡 

 

🎶 On the third day of Christmas, my energy advisor said to me... only boil enough for your cup of tea! 🎶🍵✨ 

Don’t let your kettle steal your holiday cheer! Overfilling it wastes energy and time⏳. Fun fact: in 2013, £68 million of energy was wasted this way! 😱 So, fill up just enough for your festive brews and enjoy a greener cuppa. 🌍💷 

🎶 On the fourth day of Christmas, my energy advisor said to me... draughtproof your home to keep toasty! 🎶 🏡💨  

Say goodbye to those pesky chilly draughts! 🤧 A little draughtproofing tape can go a long way—plus, sealing windows and doors could save you up to £40 a year, and your chimney up to £55! 🎅🔨 Add it to your Christmas wish list and keep the warmth in where it belongs. 

🎶 On the fifth day of Christmas, my energy advisor said to me... close your doors and improve efficiency!🎶 🏡🔥  

Trap in that festive warmth! 🎅 Closing internal doors stops chilly drafts sneaking in, keeping your rooms cozy and your heating efficient. It’s the easiest way to feel snug this Christmas! 🎁 

🎶 On the sixth day of Christmas, my energy advisor said to me... place insulation foil behind your radiators! 🎶 🌡️🛠️ 

Feeling crafty? 🎨 A sheet of radiator foil reflects heat back into the room, keeping it warm and saving energy. 🎁 It’s like giving your radiators a shiny new gift! (If your walls are already insulated, this may not be necessary—speak to our energy advisors for tailored advice.) 

  🎶 On the seventh day of Christmas, my energy advisor said to me... wash your clothes at 30°C! 🎶🌡️🧼  

Your Christmas jumpers (and everything else) don’t always need hot washes. ❄️ Washing at 30°C uses up to 60% less energy than a 60°C cycle —that’s loads of savings while keeping your wardrobe fresh and fabulous. 🎄✨ 

🎶 On the eighth day of Christmas, my energy advisor said to me... air-fried potatoes, mmm so crispy! 🎶🥔✨  

Have you tried an air fryer yet? These little wonders cook faster and use less energy than your oven. Perfect for smaller festive meals and snacks, they’ll keep your Christmas delicious AND efficient. 🌟 

🎶 On the ninth day of Christmas, my energy advisor said to me... air your home to stop it going mouldy! 🎶🪟✨  

It’s tempting to stay sealed up during winter, but fresh air is your friend! 🎄 Try ‘shock ventilation’ where you open a room’s windows wide for just one minute each morning. It’s quick, effective, and keeps your home merry and mould-free without losing much heat! 🎁❄️ 

🎶 On the tenth day of Christmas, my energy advisor said to me... a 4-minute shower is plenty! 🎶 ⏳💦  

Keep it short and sweet! 🧼 A quick shower saves time, water, and energy—cutting bills by up to £60 a year! Don’t forget to turn off the tap while brushing your teeth or shaving—it’s all part of a greener Christmas.🎅💧 

🎶 On the eleventh day of Christmas, my energy advisor said to me... switch devices off at the wall to save money! 🎶 💡✨  

Those sneaky standby lights might look innocent, but they’re draining energy (and your wallet)! Switch off TVs, gaming consoles, and other gadgets at the wall—it’s an easy way to save up to £45 a year! 🎁💷
