Octopus Cosy Merseyside and Northern Wales

Tips for Saving on Your Electricity in Merseyside and Northern Wales


Take Advantage of Small Cosy Price Dips

Run high-use appliances like washing machines and dishwashers when the Cosy tariff dips slightly.

Use Heat Pump Weather Compensation

Let your heat pump adjust automatically based on outdoor temperatures for efficient heating.

Strategically Heat Water

Schedule hot water runs during small tariff dips to reduce electricity costs.

Enhance Home Insulation

Better insulation reduces heat loss and energy demand, letting your heat pump work efficiently.

Consider a Smart Remote Heat Pump Controller

Devices like Havenwise automatically align usage with tariff peaks and troughs.
