There are ways you can save money whilst on holiday by avoiding these common mistakes.
Many of us are planning to go on holiday this year - but before you go, experts have warned households to do five things before you jet off.
Pre-holiday hacks for lowering your energy bill 1. Triple check your thermostat settings Johnson said it’s always worth triple checking the settings on your thermostat before you leave. He explains: "Setting up your thermostat incorrectly could mean you’ve still got your central heating system on a timer without even realising.
You can also save additional energy and costs by plugging them back in as you go when you return home rather than all at once, the expert says. If you’re not planning on watching TV the night you return, for example, leave it unplugged until the next time you sit down to watch something. 3. Choose energy efficient security systems The Technical and Category Manager explained: “Security systems that include plug-in elements, such as cameras, contribute to energy consumption and higher bills whilst you’re away. If you’re considering investing in security, and want to save on bills simultaneously, I would recommend choosing either re-chargeable or battery powered options."
