When talking to individuals regarding eco-friendliness, you’ll frequently hear a measured answer back from them. However, you can sometimes sense a sort of disinterest in their voice. They may acknowledge we’re harming the planet, but they can’t imagine the effect this is having on their lives. Next time you have this kind of chat, just talk about the ways in which an individual can save cash directly themselves through being eco-friendly - by hugely cutting their home heating, water and electricity bills.

Some Advice on Ways to Reduce your Household Water, Electricity and Heating Bills
For a start, ensure you lock your windows if they’re not actually open. Locking them produces a very strong airtight seal stopping both cold air getting into the home and even water leaking in.

The cost of heating water for your household can add up to 15 to 20 percent of your entire utility costs. Arranging the temperature of your water heater at about 130 degrees instead of a higher one involves less energy to warm up and keep the temperature. For every 10 degrees you go down, the thermostat can cut 3-5 percent off your water heating bill.

Use low-wattage lighting. They connect directly into any lighting fixture and use less energy.

Consider utilising movement sensor lighting for outdoors and indoors. These will prevent you from leaving the room without turning the lights off. Outdoors, they become a great deterrant to burglars.

Use an energy monitor to determine how much electrical energy you are wasting.

Use a dual flush toilet. These are the ones with two buttons when flushing : a half flush and a full flush.

If the well-known cliche is correct, the Scots are really careful with money. Consequently, a group of Scots should be very thrifty indeed. Why not invest your hard earned nest egg with Scottish Friendly. A secure resting-place for your cash is assured

The background of Scottish Friendly:

“Scottish Friendly
has a illustrious history with roots going right back to 1862.

Founded as the City of Glasgow Friendly Society, our Society name was modified in October 1992 at which point we purchased a Scottish-based friendly society named Scottish Friendly Assurance.

Currently Scottish Friendly functions as a financial services group committed to the effective provision of a wide selection of fiscal products and services. It is responsible for in excess of 380,000 policyholders and had assets under its control of over £600 million by December 2006.

Scottish Friendly, one of Britain’s major friendly societies, supplies savings plans that enable you to make the most of your nontaxable allowance and get a considerable return.

It is worth noting the State permits you to put in a total of £25 per month tax-free with a friendly society, even if you already hold an ISA.

Another relevant factor that should be taken into account is that you can put money aside for the future through our Scottish Bond or commence planning for the future financial health of your offspring through our Child Bond”.
