The recent 10 percent price cap rise from which took effect at the onset of October, is ramping up the financial strain on households throughout this winter.
Families are now bracing to fork out an extra £12 monthly just for , as managing energy expenses has become a crucial concern amidst tightened budgets.
Not only are costs spiralling, but UK water boards have also signalled potential tariff hikes over the coming five years as well. Predictions suggest that our water bills could increase by as much 49% by 2030, including inflation.
In an effort to keep money in our pockets during these trying times, the energy-savvy experts at have shared invaluable advice to help reduce our daily water consumption.
Their recommendation is straightforward - using a washing-up bowl can significantly reduce wastage.
The team at Grant Store agrees, they said: "Washing up with a bowl of water rather than using a running tap can save around £25 a year."
This is because you only use the exact amount of water you need, therefore avoiding wasting water from a running tap.
Washing dishes under a running tap can waste around five litres of water each time and that can get expensive, reports
Maximise your washing-up efficiency by waiting until you have enough dirty dishes to fill your bowl to help cut down the number of times you need to wash up during the day.
When it comes to washing ourselves, the experts said: "Investing in energy-efficient showerheads is another great way to reduce both your water and energy consumption."
These devices function by blending air with the water flow, decreasing the total amount of water used while maintaining the sensation of a regular shower.
By utilising less water, you decrease the amount of energy needed to heat it, resulting in lower energy bills.
If heating costs are a concern, the experts said: "Turning down your thermostat by just one degree can result in noticeable savings. It may seem like a small adjustment, but it could save you up to £80 annually on your energy bills.
"Being mindful of your heating settings, particularly in rooms that are less frequently used, is a big part of efficient energy consumption."
Washing clothes at lower temperatures can also make a significant difference.
Washing clothes at 30 degrees not only reduces your energy consumption by around 40 percent compared to higher temperatures but also protects them from wear and tear.
Thanks to the cleaning power of modern-day washing powders, gels and pods you can now achieve the same clean results at lower temperatures, which translates to significant savings over time.
