The Lounge
Thick curtains for insulation will help to keep the heat in during the cold winter months. And hopefully this will mean you won't need to leave the heating on for as long, and you'll be able to save money on your energy bills.
If you're not using your television, turn it off. Don't leave any appliances on standby if you're not using them. You can pick up an energy saving device to help you with this - simply plug your TV, DVD player, PC etc into this device and it stops them from spending all day in standby mode.
And if you have central heating, make sure all of your radiators are fitted with thermostats so that you can turn them down when the room is warm enough. Or take a look at this suggestion on gas fires.
You can compare the prices of energy saving products at the Energy Saving Trust website or why not ask a question on Q&A to get advice on energy-saving devices?
And, if you've got a tip of your own on how to save money in the lounge, please post it below to help other lovemoney.com readers!
