Go green with MoveMachine

HIPs and EPCs can show you how to improve your home's energy efficiency and help combat climate change.

By also following MoveMachine's top tips for greener living below, you could start saving money on your energy bills today.

• A little change makes a lot of difference - we all like to come back to a warm home in the winter, but by turning your thermostat down by even just 1oC you can save as much as 10% on your heating bills.
• Always turn off appliances when they're not in use. Even when TV's and PC's are on standby they're still burning energy and wasting you money, so switch them off when you're finished using them.
• Insulation, insulation, insulation! Close your curtains at night and fit draft excluders to keep the heat in.
• Don't let leaks be a drain on your finances. In one week a leaky hot water tap can waste enough water to fill a bath tub, so fix those leaks and make sure taps are turned off fully!
• Everything in moderation - when you're boiling the kettle, only boil as much water as you need, and use the half-load or economy programmes on your washing machine whenever possible.
