Focus's energy saving tips

Follow these steps carefully and you too could save up to £250 a year!

• Reduce your temperature by just 1 degree and this could reduce your bills by 10%, saving about £40 a year. Get that thermostat down!
• Use Focus DIY discount vouchers from sites such as VoucherSeeker in order to get discounts on DIY items.
• Your hot water cylinder thermostat should be no higher than 60 degrees Celsius, or 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Close curtains at dusk to avoid heating escaping through your windows.
• Turn lights off when you leave a room
• Turn off appliances, don't just leave them on standby or charge your mobile phone overnight.
• Use the half load or economy option on your washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher if you have minimum items.
• Only boil water that you need, enough to cover your vegetables and no more.
• Fix leaking taps and turn them fully off. A dripping hot water tap wastes enough water to fill a bath
• Use energy saving light bulbs, this can save about £60 and they last 10 times longer than light bulbs.

Follow these simple steps and you're bound to save money on your household energy bills. Remember to also use Focus DIY discount vouchers for money off items online!

The UK  DIY market is seeing continued growth, as consumers turn to ‘make do and mend' attitudes. Continuing financial strife, recession and government cuts, as well as low house prices means that consumers are looking to redecorate their homes instead of move.

Whilst other retailers suffered due to lack of consumer interest, DIY retailers have seen a surge in interest, from gardening products, to decorating equipment, more and more consumers are interested in doing DIY themselves. Not only this, but consumers are interested in learning new skills.

The Focus website also offers consumers tips on how to complete simple DIY tasks such as how to get a garden you'd be proud of, or painting and decorating guides. As well as getting these tips, consumers can save money when shopping online using Focus DIY discount vouchers.

Together with Focus, consumers are learning how to do DIY tasks for themselves, for less. This ensures that they not only save money, but learn new skills which they can either teach others or use again.
