With many of us either working from home or staying in wherever possible at the moment, trying to keep household bills down when usage is up is at the forefront of many people’s minds.

Did you know that an average household in the UK uses approximately 330 litres of water each day? To help keep your water usage down, our heating and plumbing experts have put together a list of their top tips for cutting back.

Opt for a shower instead of a bath

It might seem like an obvious one, but a speedy shower in the morning rather than a bath will use far less water overall – not to mention saving on the energy required for your boiler to heat all that water.

Fix those leaks

A running toilet or leaking tap might seem like a small issue that is easy to ignore, but it could be costing you gallons of water each day! Check regularly for leaks and be sure to call your local plumber to have it fixed – the cost of the repair will save you money that would have otherwise been wasted on your water bill in the long run.

Use a dishwasher

If, like most of us, you’re not a big fan of washing up – you’re in luck! Did you know that washing dishes by hand actually uses more water than popping them in the dishwasher? By ensuring your dishwasher is full before running, you’ll save water by ensuring each load is cleaned efficiently (plus you don’t have to wash up yourself!).

Swap to a more energy efficient boiler

Whilst most boilers will last up to 15 years, as they get older, they have to work harder to heat your home and water – costing you money in energy bills. Regular boiler servicing will ensure your boiler works as it should, but if yours is coming to the end of its life it could be time to upgrade. With our 0% finance boiler options, it’s an investment worth making.
