10 ways to save money on your energy bills

In the video, the TikTok user walks around her house showing viewers what they can do to save some money on their energy bills.

The first tip she shares is to turn the thermostat down by ‘a few degrees’.

She then makes her way to a tap and turns it on, with the text on the video explaining that only putting your immersion heater on ‘for a couple of hours a day’ could save you money.

Her next tip is to avoid boiling more water than you need and she then presses a light switch, telling viewers to make sure lights are turned off when no one is using a room.

She also advises swapping normal lightbulbs for energy-efficient ones if saving money on your energy bills is something you want to work at.

Making her way over to a radiator, she explains that turning the thermostat down in rooms that aren’t being used could also save you money.
