Video guide: How to cut your household energy bills

We asked an expert from the Energy Saving Trust to look around a house and offer quick-fix tips on how to save on gas and electricity bills.

Small ways to save

Energy Saving Week aims to educate people about the little things we can all do to save money on gas and electricity bills.

Switching providers isn’t the only way to cut costs when it comes to gas and electricity.

Did you know that cavity wall insulation could save up to £135 a year?

And small fixes, such as draught-proofing windows and doors can save up to £30 a year.

You can even save money by using your everyday appliances more efficiently.

For example, if everyone boiled only the amount of water needed each time they used the kettle, it would save enough electricity to power the UK’s street lights for two months.

We have ten electricity monitors to giveaway!

These handy devices are a great way to see how much electricity you are using - and how to save money.

You'll soon see how simple changes such as turning off the lights, or boiling less water in the kettle can lower your electricity usage - and lead to lower bills.

To win one, complete our short survey telling us about your energy bills and we'll pick ten winners. Read the terms and conditions here.  THIS GIVEAWAY HAS NOW CLOSED.
