Tips for Saving on Your Electricity in South Eastern England


Take Advantage of Minor Price Dips

Run dishwashers, washing machines, and other high-use appliances when prices dip slightly.

Use Heat Pump Weather Compensation

Let your heat pump automatically respond to outside temperatures for comfort and efficiency.

Time Hot Water Heating

Schedule heating water during small price dips to save money without affecting comfort.

Improve Home Insulation

Better insulation reduces heat loss and keeps energy demand low.

Consider a Smart Remote Heat Pump Controller

Controllers like Havenwise automatically align heat pump operation with tariff peaks and troughs.
