With the constant reminders of climate change on the news, we all know that we should pull our weight and be kinder to the environment. But would you be happy to foot the bill? It seems many of us wouldn’t be too thrilled! The price comparison service uSwitch has surveyed households across Britain about climate change; their key findings provide plenty of food for thought! • Over 20 million households (74%) across the country are concerned about climate change, however… • Less than a third of UK households (31%) have said they would be happy to contribute to the infrastructure …

Smart meters are supposed to make the lives of householders both cheaper and easier — but their introduction across the country has been bumpy at best. Earlier this month, the Government admitted that the rollout of smart meters has been delayed from its original 2020 deadline back to 2024. Only half of households will have smart meters by next year. They’re designed to save consumers money — much like several of our products, including our CombiSave device, which could save you up to £250 a year. Getting past the controversial headlines, what is the actual thinking behind smart meters? Making …

The cost of living is going up and water and energy bills are definitely part of the trend. From April 2019, the average UK water bill was projected to increase by £9 in the South West, with the typical household paying £415 for their water each year. Wasting a bit of water doesn’t seem like the biggest crime in a temperate climate like ours — but being a bit more careful about how you use your water could have a big impact on your annual outgoings. Here are five ways you might be able to save water without even realising …

As a society we’re becoming more and more in tune with the importance of the environment and our role in trying to preserve it. Recycling has become increasingly common place for many households, whilst campaigns targeting the use of single-use plastics have started to have an impact on the daily habits of a wider proportion of the population. With so much change happening in our daily lives, one area seems to have gone largely unnoticed.  Most of us are still regularly wasting water, according to research from the Water Regulation Advisory Scheme, even though we know it’s bad for both …

We all know that the cost of living is getting more and more expensive; no matter if it’s a loaf of bread at your local supermarket or a pint down the pub, the wallet never seems to be quite as heavy as it once did. That’s before you even start thinking about heating your home! One of the biggest costs of living in the UK is of course energy, with the average household spending around £1,249 on energy bills each year. Whilst the word ‘poverty’ may sound extreme, no fewer than one in ten homes across the UK find themselves …

Whether you’re juggling a demanding job, hobbies and a hectic social life, or facing the daily logistical challenge of getting the kids to and from nursery, school, after-school clubs, birthday parties and home again, most of us could do with an extra hour in the day or day in the week. Well, what if we told you that we could save you around three and a half minutes every day with no effort whatsoever? It may not sound like much, but over the course …

The cost of heating our homes and water is rapidly on the increase, and millions of households in England are being left unable to meet these costs, a study has found. According to fuel poverty charity National Energy Action (NEA), around 4 million households are in fuel poverty. This is having an effect on both physical and mental health, and impacting on children’s education up and down the country, as some households face a shortfall of up to £600 between their fuel bills and what they can actually afford. A new government study shows that many appear to be choosing …

Research carried out by Liverpool John Moores University has found that it takes up to twice the amount of time to heat water to the desired temperature without a CombiSave valve fitted, and also uses up to 56% more water. The low-cost, thermostatically operated CombiSave was invented to help reduce water wastage, gas consumption, environmental impact, and time, when heating water using a combi boiler. The CombiSave works by restricting the flow of water when the hot tap or shower is first turned on, allowing the water to reach temperature in a shorter amount of time and therefore wasting less …
