What does it mean?
Less is more
The lower the hourly rate of consumption, the less it will cost and the
more you can save.
A typical medium sized house will use approximately 3100 kilowatt
hours of electricity per year*, or approximately 5p per hour.
1 Watt of electricity running 24 hours a day costs around £1.30 a
year. Therefore at bedtime, if your display is showing approximately
200 Watts, this will costing appropriately £260 a year. This is
approximately 40% of average electricity bill. Reducing this by 70W,
would save over £90.
The gas flame should be off when your boiler and cooker have not
been used for 30 minutes.

How can I use less?

Look for appliances around the home that are not always being
used and can be switched off.
Often it's items such as a games console, sound system or even a
clock radio in the spare room. Experiment with switching appliances
off and see what affect that has on the electricity usage.
Other ways to save include having less water in the kettle (only boil
what you intend to use), lowering the temperature on the washing
machine, or turn down your thermostat by 1 ºC - this could save £75
per year*.
