Octopus Cosy Eastern England
Tips for Saving on Your Electricity in Eastern England
Run Appliances During Price Dips
Keep an eye on small dips in the Cosy tariff to run washing machines, dishwashers, or other high-use appliances efficiently.
Use Heat Pump Weather Compensation
Let your heat pump adjust automatically based on outside temperature for optimal heating efficiency.
Schedule Hot Water Runs Strategically
If your water heater can store energy, run it during small dips to reduce electricity costs.
Improve Home Insulation
Minimizing heat loss reduces energy needed from your heat pump or other appliances, making your Cosy tariff go further.
Consider a Smart Remote Heat Pump Controller
Devices like Havenwise can automatically align heat pump usage with time-of-use peaks and troughs, removing the need to fiddle with scheduling manually.
