Martin Lewis has shared the ultimate home efficiency checklist to help households across the country reduce usage and keep heating bills as low as possible in what he described as a “tough winter” ahead. The consumer champion took viewers of his Money Show Live on a virtual tour of a typical house highlighting key areas of opportunity to reduce energy usage.
He told ITV viewers: “There are so many things you can do to make your home energy efficient, I’ve got a checklist here and you will know some of them, but this is really just about making sure that you’re doing it.”
The founder of MoneySavingExpert.com then reeled off simple measures including fitting a free water-saving shower head, the merits of turning the thermostat down by just one degree, using your curtains ‘tactically’, making sure your fridge is running at the right temperature and the simple boiler tweak that most people are aware of to save anywhere between £100 and £200 - turning your water flow temperature down.
