Around the home: easy ways to save energy

It's the same story with set-top boxes. They may not be expensive to buy but by 2010 they could be costing UK households around £660m every year in electricity.

A bright idea has got even better
Energy-saving light bulbs have come of age. Nowadays they're available in all shapes and sizes to suit all kinds of fitting: candle, round, bayonet, screw - even dimmable and halogen. They last around 10 times as long as traditional bulbs and each one can save up to £60 over the lifetime of the bulb.

Get a grant to generate your own energy
If you want to save even more, grants of up to £2,500 are available to help you generate your own energy at home. The Government's Low Carbon Buildings Programme provides grants for technologies like solar hot water panels and wood burning boilers.
