  The WAHL Ecologyk Kettle has a unique patented dual-chamber design by pressing the water release located on the top you can accurately measure how much water you actually need.

• 5. Radiator Reflectors – If turning down your heating isn’t an option for you, you can install Radiator Reflectors.

When you turn your radiators on the wall behind is actually being heated up as well as the room, by installing radiator reflectors behind your radiators the heat will be reflected from the wall back into the room, This will save you money on your heating bills and the room will warm up quicker too!

An energy monitor is easy to install and can tell you how much energy you are using and how much it will cost you!

• 2. Double Glazing – Although this is probably the most expensive option on the list so far it can be one of the best ways to save energy!

Double glazing helps stop the heat from your house escaping outdoors, which limits energy waste.

• 1. Roof & Loft Insulation – Heat rises and because of this heat from your house can escape through your roof and loft, If it is insulated the heat loss is limited and this stops you from needing your radiators on as much.

This is a good investment and can pay for itself from only 2 years!

Although this list is mostly compiled of products you can purchase to save energy, the best way to save energy is to monitor your energy usage, turn lights and electricals off once not in use, turning down your heating and most important of all spreading the word about energy saving!
