•	Get dripping hot water taps fixed.
•	When cooking in the oven, open the door as little as possible.

•	Use the fast and economy cycles on your dishwasher as often as possible, and only wash full loads.

•	Fridges and freezers work best when full and defrosted regularly.
•	Don't rinse dirty dishes under hot tap.
•	Fill the jug from the cold tap.

•	It is cheaper to do one load in the dishwasher than three sink-loads of dishes.
•	Match pots and pans to the stove element size and keep the lids on.
•	Ensure the oven door seals are cleaned regularly, well fitted and in good condition.
