Tips for Saving on Your Electricity in North Eastern England


Use Minor Price Dips for Appliances

Run washing machines, dishwashers, and other high-energy devices when the Cosy tariff briefly dips.

Leverage Heat Pump Weather Compensation

Let your heat pump automatically adjust to outside temperatures for efficient heating.

Time Hot Water Heating Strategically

Schedule hot water heating to coincide with minor tariff dips.

Upgrade Insulation

Better insulation reduces energy demand, keeping your heat pump running efficiently.

Consider a Smart Remote Heat Pump Controller

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