Do you want to lower your carbon footprint? Or just have lower energy bills? South Downs Electrical offers a free service to review the electrics in your home and advise you on more energy efficient lighting or appliances. We can help you find ways to reduce your electricity consumption. For example, installing smart devices or a home automation system allows you to monitor your electricity usage and control your appliances in the most efficient way.

Most people can find ways to cut the amount of electricity they use. It has been estimated that the average household could save around £250 a year, and some can save a lot more.

Energy saving tips

  • Low energy lighting. One of the easiest ways to cut electricity consumption is by installing low energy lighting. Whilst the initial cost of each bulb is more expensive, they will last longer and each one you change could save you £10 a year.
  • Choose energy efficient appliances. Appliances account for about 50% of your electricity bill. There is a big difference in the running costs between old, inefficient appliances and ones with eco programmes. Especially with fridges and freezers that are running all the time. Keeping that old fridge running could be costing you more than buying a new energy efficient model.
  • Run your appliances in the most efficient way. When was the last time you cleaned behind the fridge? Did you know that dust build up on the coils of fridges and freezers can reduce their efficiency by 25%? Always run a washing machine or dishwasher with a full load. An energy efficient dishwasher run on an eco programme actually uses less energy than washing up by hand.
