What is 'energy efficiency' and how can I be more energy efficient?
The term ‘energy efficiency’ applies to how well your home retains heat and how effectively it uses the power it draws. The more energy efficient your home is, the greater the savings you will make both in both financial and environmental terms.
Most energy suppliers will be able to provide you with advice and tips on saving power under their Energy Efficient Commitment and you could also be eligible for a government grant towards making your home more efficient.
Find further information on making your home more energy efficient as well as available grants on the Energy Savings Trust website (www.est.org.uk), or by calling one of their regional offices:-

How can I calculate how much energy I use?
In order to identify the best potential energy supplier and tariff for you, we need to know approximately how much energy you use. This information can be taken from your energy bills or alternatively if you select 'I do not know my consumption' we can calculate roughly how much gas and electricty you use, based on the size of your property. To do this we use average consumption figures provided by Ofgem.
