6 supposedly "simple" ways to cut energy bills

The Property Nomads Podcast

Rob explores six supposedly simple ways to cut energy bills, drawing insights from a Daily Express article. He offers practical tips for homeowners and landlords alike, such as heating only the rooms in use, using tin foil on radiators to enhance efficiency, and improving insulation through draft proofing.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Focus on heating only the rooms that are actively being used. Adjusting the thermostat down by one degree can also contribute to energy savings.
• Placing tin foil behind radiators can help reflect heat back into the room, improving radiator efficiency and making it a simple and effective solution.
• Enhancing insulation through draft proofing windows and doors, as well as considering loft insulation, can significantly reduce heat loss and energy bills.
• Regularly turning off appliances at the wall instead of leaving them on standby can help lower energy consumption, although the impact may be minimal compared to rising energy prices.
• While using eco-settings on appliances may seem beneficial, they may not always yield the best results. Additionally, switching to renewable energy sources like solar may not be financially viable or practical for everyone, despite being presented as a simple solution.

BEST MOMENTS

"If your tenants then don't know how to potentially save a bit of cash on the bills, that might put them in a situation where, you know, do they either pay the heating or pay the rent?"

"I don't like the suggestion. I don't think this works for everyone because there are some times where a 30 degree wash just doesn't cut it."

"Turning off standby is a very simple thing to do to turn off standby. Highly recommend you do it."

"Switching to renewables can be done, but it's not necessarily for everyone. It might not be financially viable."
