Individual actions for homeowners

…some quick and easy sustainability ‘wins’ to save you energy and money as well as reducing carbon emissions

Step 1: Do Your Own Audit:

  • Check windows, external doors, vents, floor spaces, fireplaces, and stoves with a stick of incense: and track down and eliminate draughts.
  • Check insulation levels in attic, basement, walls (including the meter box), and floors
  • Check your boiler and stove; what age are they? When were they last serviced?
  • Collect energy bills and scrutinise them over a year.
  • To save money in the short term see if you need to change your electricity supplier.

Step 2: Actions to save 12% of your energy costs and fossil fuel use:

  • Turn everything off – don’t leave on standby (2%)
  • Use a clothes line when possible – no tumble dryer (7%)
  • Wash clothes @ 30 degrees (1%)
  • Turn off lights when not in a room, replace bulbs with highest rated LEDs possible (A+ read the lables not all LEDs are the same) – change as they go so as to spread the cost (2%).

Step 3: Save energy by thinking about the way you control and use heat

  • Maintain room temperature 190C (this can save up to €350 every year for each degree lower you heat the house)
  • Close the curtains at dusk to keep heat in the room that would otherwise be lost through the cold windows, and you could save up to 10% of your heating costs.
  • Consider fitting shelves above radiators as they redirect the warm air that rises from them back into the room.
  • Ventilate your house 3 to 5 minutes, a couple of times a day, instead of opening windows a little bit all day. Shut off your heating, during ventilation. This can reduce heat loss by 16%.
  • Bleed your radiators regularly. If there is air in your radiator your boiler burns longer. Always start with the lowest and end with the highest radiator.
