As we enter the final days before the Climate Catastrophe takes all our lives, here's some energy saving tips to push the day of reckoning out another few days or so.
I have a combi boiler so #3 happens automatically - it only fires up to heat water when I run the hot tap. I guess there are still a loads of traditional boilers with hot water tanks knocking about.
#1 is hard to achieve because it take a couple of minutes for hot water to come through to my shower so the stop/start nature would result in a mostly cold shower and I'm not brave enough for that.
The others I tend to do anyway, more or less. I don't drink tea but my coffee machine only heats water on demand according to the button pressed.
I diligently followed all these tips including wearing my underpants for 10 days and with the money I saved I got the taxpayer to buy a couple of cheap flights from London to Cornwall. That was the point, wasn't it?
Energy companies need to make £X profit from c consumption and t tariffs. If c decreases then t has to increase. You will be paying the same for less but you will save the planet from boiling.
I actually follow all those tips anyway, apart from 2 and 7. Before I have a shower I set my hot water to on for 2 1/2 mins, provides all the hot water I need.
