Saving energy is as easy as 1, 2, 3!

Here at MS Electrical we like to help our customers reduce their energy bills, and also benefit the environment along the way too. So here are our top three tips for saving energy this month:

1. If you’re using standard 60W or 100W light bulbs, why not switch to LEDs, which are the equivalent of 6W and can last around 25,000 hours?
2. 90% of the energy used by a washing machine is in heating the water, so why not turn the thermostat down to 30 degrees, as most modern appliances can operate perfectly well at that temperature?
3. Household appliances left on standby or in sleep mode still use around 75% of the power, so why not make a habit of switching them off overnight and especially when you’re on holiday?

We hope these simple energy-saving tips prove useful, and don’t forget that we’re always available on 01223 850301 / 01353 665106 to help you keep electrical safety in check.
