Re: Energy prices going up
Energy prices are rocketing but I think they have to cap domestic bills at just under £200 every year.

Re: Energy prices going up
I must admit that recently I am having to make savings. I just replaced all bulbs in the house with energy-saving LED ones and am looking to do more on this front because the bills are going to go up pretty steep.

Re: Energy prices going up
We've just gone around the house and put lots of energy-saving devices in like low wattage LED bulbs and also made sure we had the loft insulated.
It's already made an impact and I have got everyone to turn off the computers when they are not using them

Re: Energy prices going up
My PC is on all day, I must admit.
Maybe it's time to get in the habit of turning mine off from time to time.

Re: Energy prices going up
Now it does, I read about this when I got up.
You set it in the power options.
Now my PC is set for the screen to go off after 2 minutes of inactivity while the PC goes to standby after 15 minutes.
We have three computers and they are all set now.

Re: Energy prices going up
Done mine now.
That has me thinking if there's anything more to do like this because sometimes I have fell asleep with he computer on all night.
