Five simple tech tweaks to help people working from home keep energy bills down this winter

New research from technology solution experts at Brother suggests that over half (55%) of UK employees currently working from home are concerned about their rising energy bills. The UK Government’s £2,500 energy price guarantee puts a limit on charges suppliers can apply, but it does not mean gas and electricity bills are limitless.

Use more energy and your bill will be higher, similarly, use less and it should be lower. But as the festive season fast approaches and more people choose to work remotely, the prospect of trying to concentrate on the job at hand might be tricky if you’re constantly checking a smart meter for any spikes in usage because you’ve got the TV on while you toil away.

The £400 energy rebate, a deduction of £66 applied automatically every month to domestic electricity accounts will go a long way to ease the worry of having several work devices on the go at one time, but to give even more peace of mind, Brother have shared five top tips to help you make a few simple energy-saving tweaks to your tech devices.
