35% of heat loss in the home is lost through the walls and, if you have radiators on external walls, a lot of the heat coming out the back of the radiator will end up outside instead of in your home.
We've created a guide on how to fit radiator foils: cdn.prod.website-files.com/659fcf4688ac...
What energy tariff works best for you?
Dual tariff?
A fixed price or a tracker?
One where your prices change depending on the time of day - cheaper at night?
What about exporting if you have solar panels?
We can help explain the different types and how they could work for you
You could save money by having the heating lower when you're out the house or asleep. You can even set it to come on automatically 30mins before you wake up or get home to make sure you're returning to a warm home.

When boiling water in your kettle, only put in as much water as you need!
The more water you add, the longer it takes to boiler, the more electricity it uses.
Boiling your kettle for 1min a day costs around £5/yr. This'll add up if you're boiling a full kettle for 1 cup of tea multiple times a day!
Are you eligible for a social water tariff?
Could you be better off on a water meter?
Are you on a water meter but have a health condition that means you use more water?
Contact your local water supplier to discuss your options!
Would a power cut endanger your safety?
Do you rely on electrical equipment for your mobility, medication or health?
Would a cold home have serious effects on your health?
Struggle to communicate over the phone?

If you put your hand up to your windows and doors, can you feel a cold wind coming through?
Draught tape and excluders are a relatively cheap way to save money on heating.
Check out our information on draughts
cdn.prod.website-files.com/659fcf4688ac...
Did you know that you could save around £45 a year by turning electrical appliances off at the switch?
Lights cost money! So, if your TV has a red light on it or your microwave/oven has a digital clock, it will be using electricity.
Cold patches on radiators?
Bleeding your radiators is a quick way to get the most out of your heating.
Turn your heating off, turn the valve using a radiator key to release the air, as soon as water starts coming out, shut it off! Remember to check your boiler pressure afterwards
Could this be YOU?
We are looking for schools, community groups and businesses, who would like to take part in our 'Keep Warm Appeal' this winter.
If you, or someone you know, would like their organisation to take part then email us at communications@actonenergy.org.uk for more information.
The cheapest energy is the energy you don't use.
Upgrading your heating systems and installing solar panels or insulation could be cheaper than you think!
Call us today to see if you're eligible for free or part-funded installs!

Smart meters can give you more variation on energy tariffs including accessing cheaper off-peak usage and saving sessions.
Quick myth-busting!
Smart meters don't use your wifi
Smart meters don't cost you any money to run
Smart meters don't store your name & address
If you're struggling with your energy bills, your first point of call should always be your supplier! They may be able to support with emergency credit for pre-payment meters, manageable payment plans for debt, winter support, tariff options and advice specific to your usage.

Keep your home at a min of 18c but you can turn down the radiators in rooms you don't use. Leave them on low to avoid damp but you may find that closed off rooms are being overheated.
Use the Thermostatic Radiator Valve, the dial located on the radiator itself, to turn it down
Energy Performance Certificates look at how energy efficient your home is
It's useful to find which parts of your home need improving & give you ideas on the energy you could save if you made recommended improvements.
Does your home have an EPC? find-energy-certificate.service.gov.uk/find-a-certi...
Your council may have additional support through discretionary funds so it's worth checking their website.
