Energy savings calculator

By making small changes to your energy use around the home, you can cut your energy consumption and keep your energy bill in check.

The energy savings calculator shows you how much energy you use for key items around the home, such as lighting. It then calculates how much energy (and money) you'll save by adopting energy efficient practices or products. For example, you can calculate how much energy and money you'll save by switching to energy efficient lighting.

• switching off your spare fridge(s) when not in use.
