Ovens can be quite expensive to run. Plenty of meals are cheaper to make using a microwave or an air fryer. They use less electricity because they are smaller appliances, cook the food faster and don’t need to preheat.

This year’s newsletter comes at a critical point for households across Northern Ireland. While there has been welcome movement on fuel poverty policy, including the launch of the Fuel Poverty Strategy, many households continue to face intense pressure from food, fuel and wider living costs.

Heat can be lost from your hot water tank quite quickly, meaning it has to use more energy to get back to the correct temperature. Insulating your hot water tank can prevent unnecessary heat loss.

Living in a cold home can damage developing lungs. Children growing up in cold and damp homes are more likely to develop long-term conditions or shorter illnesses like bronchitis.
