As energy costs rise, more households are looking for practical ways to reduce their bills. While many are already making an effort to switch off appliances and lower the temperature on their washing machines, one energy-saving tip that stands out is boiling only the amount of water needed for hot drinks. This simple habit can have a significant impact on your energy consumption. It’s estimated that boiling a full kettle every day could cost you around £50 annually. However, how often do you actually use all the water in a boiled kettle?
By only boiling the water you need, you not only save energy but also improve the taste of your drinks. Reboiling the same water multiple times removes oxygen, which can affect the flavour. Though it may take some time to get into the habit of boiling just the right amount, investing in an appliance like the Aurora Instant Hot & Cold Filtered Water Dispenser can make this task easier. This dispenser delivers instant hot, boiled, or chilled water, always filtered and served in the exact quantity needed. With a 3.8-litre capacity, it features seven temperature settings and seven volume options, ensuring a perfectly tailored drink every time. It’s a space-saving, energy-efficient solution that delivers better-tasting beverages while cutting down on unnecessary energy use.
Additionally, reducing energy consumption is beneficial not only for your wallet but also for the environment. Lower energy use can help minimise the pollutants that contribute to climate change. Another effective way to reduce environmental impact is by cutting down on single-use plastic bottles. Instead, consider using a water filter. The Evolve+ water filter jug provides a fast, convenient way to hydrate your family with cleaner, better-tasting water. Its unique five-step filtration system removes impurities such as microplastics, herbicides, and heavy metals from tap water. It also works up to three times faster than leading competitors, helping you replace numerous plastic bottles with a sustainable alternative. Plus, the filter helps reduce limescale and chlorine, extending the lifespan of appliances like kettles and coffee machines.
By making simple adjustments like boiling only the water you need and using a high-quality water filter, you can save energy, reduce waste, and contribute to a greener planet, all while enjoying cleaner, better-tasting water.
