Winter is time for frosty mornings, chilly evenings and constantly cold limbs. It also tends to be a time when our electricity bills go through the roof as we run heaters, drying machines and other appliances designed to fight back against winter’s sharp bite.

Turn your appliances off at the wall when you go to bed in the evenings. Leaving them on stand-by all night uses only a small amount of power – but when there are multiple appliances on for many nights on end, the expenditure slowly builds up.
