Did you know your slow cooker is a secret energy saver? 💡

Compared to using an oven, a slow cooker uses up to 75% less electricity! That’s because it cooks low and slow, holding in heat efficiently and using steady, gentle power.

Next time you go to make a nice warm family meal, make it with your slow cooker and save energy and money!

Did you know your thermostat can be your biggest energy-saving tool?
Setting your thermostat correctly helps keep your home comfortable and your bills down.

✅ Lower your heating by just 1°C to save up to 10% on your energy bill
✅ Prevents your boiler from overworking — saving energy and extending its life
✅ Keeps temperatures steady, reducing damp and mould

💡 Top tip: Aim for 18–21°C when you’re home and awake, and turn it down while you’re asleep or out
