Did you know? The average new Ashberry property would emit 1.32 tonnes of carbon emissions a year, versus an average EPC Band D rated property which emits 4.08 tonnes. That’s a saving of 2.76 tonnes a year. 14 newly planted trees would take 20 years to absorb that amount of carbon.”
Go green and save more
Every household in the UK creates tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. Billions is wasted on energy in the UK each year. Collectively, we spend millions on electricity by using washing machines, tumble dryers and dishwashers. This produces millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide every year.
For hints and tips on how you can save more energy, see below.
Tips to go green and save more
Heating your home
Whilst we typically heat our homes between 18°C and 21°C, if this were lowered by just 1°C you could trim up to 10% off your fuel bill. We’d also recommend setting your thermostat to switch on earlier as opposed to turning it on as soon as it gets colder outside.
Recycling in your home
Our homes produce around 30 million tonnes of waste every year, 80% of which can be recycled, composted and reused in other ways. You can keep more of your waste away from landfill by making use of your recycling collections and nearby waste recycling centres.
Saving water & electricity
Run your dishwasher only when you have a full load, since it will always use the same amount of water and electricity, whether it’s full or not. Also instead of a 60°C washing cycle, try 30°C or 40°C. You’ll end up using around 33% less electricity.
