Octopus Cosy East Midlands

Tips for Saving on Your Electricity in East Midlands


Run High-Use Appliances During Price Dips

Monitor minor dips in the Cosy tariff to operate dishwashers, washing machines, or other electricity-intensive appliances.

Leverage Heat Pump Weather Compensation

Your heat pump can adapt automatically to outdoor temperatures, maximizing efficiency without manual adjustments.

Time Hot Water Heating Strategically

Use small price dips for water heating when possible to save a little on your electricity bills.

Upgrade Home Insulation

Better insulation reduces heat loss, allowing your heat pump to maintain comfort with less energy.

Use a Smart Remote Heat Pump Controller

Products like Havenwise can automatically match your heat pump usage to tariff peaks and troughs for convenience and savings.
