How to avoid higher energy bills

Bills, bills, bills and even more bills! In this technology fuelled aged it seems the only way is up when it comes to energy bills. It therefore may come as no surprise that the levels of carbon emissions continue to rise despite many governments efforts. Whilst some of us are environmentally conscious, most of us consume high volumes of energy daily – all at once, at times. This inevitably means that we continuously pay out hefty sums to accommodate equally hefty energy-consuming lifestyles. High energy consumption is equal to high energy bills – therefore to avoid higher energy bills, it is paramount to avoid high energy usage. Would you agree that we’re on to something here? Yes?
