Energy Saving Tips

Here are some energy-saving tips that can help you reduce your energy consumption and contribute towards a sustainable future.

Turn off appliances when not in use

When your devices are plugged in but not in use, they consume electricity, known as the phantom effect. As a result, unplugging those devices can save electricity.

Pick the most appropriate appliance

Make sure you are cooking your food in the most efficient appliance. For example, if you are only cooking a small meal, opt for your Air Fryer over your oven.

Defrost before you cook

If food is still frozen or partially frozen, it will take longer to cook. Hence, you will be consuming more energy.

How can I save energy when using other kitchen appliances?

  • Only boil the amount of water you need:  This will save energy and time, as boiling a full kettle takes longer and uses more energy than boiling just the amount you need.

  • Regularly descale your kettle: A build-up of limescale can reduce the efficiency of your kettle, so make sure to descale it regularly, especially if you live in a hard water area.

  • Consider a temperature-control kettle: This will allow you to heat the water to the exact temperature you need, rather than boiling it unnecessarily hot.
  • Keep the oven door closed: Every time you open the oven door, heat escapes, and the oven has to use more energy to get back up to the desired temperature. Try to avoid opening the oven door unnecessarily.

  • Use the right burner: When cooking on a hob, use the right-sized burner for the pot or pan you are using. A small pot on a large burner wastes energy.

  • Clean your appliances: Regularly cleaning your appliances helps to keep them running efficiently. Dust and debris can reduce the airflow in your oven, making it work harder and use more energy.
