Understand how you compare
Energy use can be hard to visualise and know how you compare. You can see if you are above or below average for a home of your size by looking at your bill to find your annual kilowatt hour usage for gas or electricity - a unit of energy - and comparing it to what a similar sized home uses.
Another way to get to grips with your energy usage is to use your smart meter. Experiment by switching appliances off one at a time to see what uses the most.
You can visit the smart energy website to ask your energy supplier for a smart meter for free.
If you cannot get a smart meter due to connectivity issues, there are other energy saving assistants that can help you understand your energy usage. Find out more on the Loop website.

A new grant is now available providing energy efficiency upgrades and clean heating systems to low-income households that are not on mains gas.
The Home Upgrade Grant (HUG2) can be used for improvements such as insulation and solar panels to air source heat pumps and smart heating controls. These will help save money on energy bills and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
