Which one is a good way of saving energy?

• Keep curtains and blinds open during the day to let the warmth of the sunshine into your home. Close them at night to keep the heat in and the cold out.

• If you’ve got an integral garage, keep the doors open in winter to let the cold weather in.

1)If you’re cooking in the oven, don’t keep opening the oven door to check things, as you’ll let heat escape each time.

2)If you spend most of the time in one room, it might make sense to use a portable heater in that room rather than switching on the heating for the whole house.

3)Keep your heating thermostat away from lamps, TVs, the back of the fridge, or any other appliances that emit heat. They’ll cause it to reach its set temperature too quickly and switch off, but then restart, and your boiler will waste energy by constantly switching on and off.
