Winter seems to be the ideal time for saving money but most of us also have higher expenses then, such as higher utility bills. We can however make changes to save some money which is why we decided to put together an infographic to give tips on energy saving.

There are small changes you can make in every room of the house to start saving today. Let’s start with the kitchen. When washing your dishes do you keep the water running? Most of us do! If we were to use a sink of water rather than keeping the tap running we’d be saving £35 yearly.

The energy rating of your appliances could save you a lot money too. For example, the next time you need to replace an appliance in the kitchen go for an a rated one. An A rated fridge will save you £89 yearly!

Swapping the baths for showers would also save you some money on your gas and electricity bill. If you snub the bathtub just once a week for a 5 minute shower you’ll be saving £15 yearly on your gas bill and £25 on your water bill.  Check out the infographic below for more money saving tips.
