to what i m suggesting? yeah, definitely need to cut back on the amount of rooms i m heating, for sure. but, yeah, i ll try my best and see how it goes. rob s got a flat mate. do you think your flatmate will be happy when you say, no more ? h s a bit more of a stickler for the heating, so i ll have to try and convince him, i reckon you have had us round now. you have had us round now. anyway, joanna. it looks like there are no lights on there, i m guessing you ordered him not to put the lights on! oh, that s a good. but you said about keeping the curtains shut or getting curtains. i mean, obviously, if someone. i m assuming you mean in rooms that you re not in in the daytime, because there s that sort of, the cost then of putting the lights on reversing the cost of losing the heating? yeah, the light, i mean, if you are using low energy lights, they are not massive. but you should always. i missed it, joanna. sorry. you should always turn the lights off when you re not in a room. an
bills by about a third. so quite significant savings by managing his demand. so let s go and have a look at his flat. rob, are you still there? hi, yeah. hi, rob. good to meet you. nice to meet you. liam, the cameraman, come on in. come on in, liam. let s have a look. so we start in the main room here. so, this is rob s kitchen and front room. start in the kitchen very easy savings you can make. when you re boiling a cup of tea, measure out the water in a cup, only much as much as you need. heat stuff up in a microwave, not in the oven. that will save you loads of energy. boil the water in the kettle when you re making pasta, then put it on the pan. that will save you a bit. i ve been looking, it s such an intrusion, i ve been going round his house looking at everything! now, i notice you ve got a couple of led light bulbs and then you ve got one of these halogen light bulbs. yeah. the halogen light bulb, i mean, if you put your hand up to it when it s on, you will feel the heat comi
if you ve got halogen light bulbs, go through your house, get the warm coloured led light bulbs and they re really good. now, more generally, bigger savings now. think about your house, right, where do you spend most of your time? i suspect it s in here. looks like you re working from here. i suggest you say, i m only really going to heat this room, i m not going to heat the rest of my house. get a big saving if you do that. and if you re going to do that, what i would suggest is, can you see the window there? get yourself a curtain, that s massively going to reduce draught. you wouldn t believe how much cold air comes through from the window, so get a curtain, that will make a big difference. get yourself a draught excluderfor the door, so you re only heating this room, which means. let s go down the corridor and have a look. which means that you don t need to heat the other rooms. but first, before we go into one of the other rooms, let s take a look at. come on, liam! let s have a l
it s going to save you a lot of money. and we ll come on to how much in a moment. more bad news for you, rob, i m going to say no more baths, only showers. short showers, if you can. get yourself clean, then get out of the shower. the hot waterjust is really expensive. don t run the towel rack. you know, hang the towels on the rack in there and let the air dry them. much more efficient. let s go back into your front room. and i ll give you the reckoning, how much energy i reckon i can save for you! so, i reckon if you do everything that i ve said, and we ve spoken to which? and other experts on this, we reckon we can save you, that s about a third of your energy bill, possibly more. if you re really rigorous with this stuff. and when it is really cold, you stick with that, you know, having an extra duvet in your bedroom, a third of your energy. so at a time like this, when energy prices are higher, that is a significant saving. it is quite a punishing regime, though. what do you think?
