They are mostly small changes that will take you less than five minutes. But the difference in which they could make to your energy bill is quite astonishing. We have put together a little guide to help small business owners save an extra few quid during the harsh economic times that we are currently in."
Use Energy Efficient Lighting In Your Premises
You should use energy saving light bulbs where possible. This is because energy saving light on average use 80% less power than normal ones, plus you will have to replace them less often. It might cost you a few quid to replace all of the light bulbs but you will most defiantly benefit from it in the future.
If you have the budget it would be worth while to install motion sensitive lighting where possible. You will be astonished by the amount of lights that are left on when they are not needed. You should also think about making the most out of the windows in your premises and keeping you blinds open, allowing you to use less lights.
Try Not To Use Air Conditioning
It is very easy to use air conditioning in the warmer summer months. but you will be surprised in just how much electricity that they actually use. Try to open doors and windows more often to eliminate the use of air conditioning units.
Switch Off All Electrical Items When You Leave The Office
By switching off a single monitor every night when you leave your business premises you could save around £35 a year. When you have several electrical items this amount of money starts too add up to a quite significant figure. It will only take you an extra few minutes every day to shut down all the machines, but it could make a worthwhile difference.
Don't Put Too Much Water In The Kettle
It does not matter what industry you might work within, everyone in this country loves tea and coffee. If everyone in England, Scotland and Wales only used enough water in the kettle as they need, we would save electricity in a year so that we could power all of the nations street lights for a month. It's pretty astonishing just how much power kettles use.
Try To Use Newer Technology Where Possible
Newer technologies of computers, phones, fridges, kettles, printers ect.. They will designed to me more efficient that their older brothers. So where possible you should always try to use the new models of the everyday electrical items you use in your business.
