Turn things off

Switch things off

Remember to switch off equipment that isn’t essential when it’s not being used. Even switching things off during a lunch break helps. And you can use time-switches to make sure heating and lights go off when buildings don’t have anyone in them.

Light

Be smart with your lighting

Switch lights off in empty rooms. And use low energy light bulbs where you can - replace any standard fluorescent tubes with slim-line ones.

Don't waste heat

Don’t waste heat

Don’t turn up the heating unless you really need to. And don’t heat space you’re not using. Storerooms or corridors don’t need to be kept as warm as areas where people spend a long period of time.

Close the door

Shut that door!

Keep doors and windows closed, and you won’t need to use as much energy to keep rooms warm. Make sure they’re draught proof too.

The important information

*The figure of 166 is the potential saving achievable by an EDF Energy customer with a typical consumption supplied on our standard tariffs, meeting the challenge to reduce their annual household energy consumption by 20% through energy saving measures. Typical consumption means 3,300 kWh of electricity and 20,500 kWh of gas each year.
