The Hall

How-to Guide Tips 1 tip on this task  | 

For most of us, the hall is where the gas and electricity meter is located. Paying for gas and electricity can work out to be very pricey, but when was the last time you actually thought about switching energy suppliers?

If you fancy saving some money, the first thing you should do is shop around to see whether you can find a cheaper tariff. And a great way to do that is by using our very own price comparison service! Make sure you have a gas and electricity bill to hand so you can easily enter your current tariff and usage, and await the results!

It's worth bearing in mind that it's generally cheaper to opt for dual fuel - so both your gas and electricity comes from the same supplier. And it usually works out cheaper if you select an online tariff.

    I save money in the hall with a low energy light bulb; not on the landing though; I don't want to break my neck on the stairs! I turn down the thermostat on the heating when I go out, which isn't usually for long as so I want it reasonably warm when I return; but every little helps. I also have it draught proofed - all doors. Then I can turn the radiators off in rooms I'm not using and that saves a lot of energy. Heating the spare room is a waste of money! I got some stuff with a EU grant like wiring, smoke alarms and CO alarms.
