Switch your bulbs and save £55 every year

After a big holiday spend we’re all trying to find ways to save money in the New Year. One of the simplest things you can do to reduce your outgoings and help save the planet at the same time is switch your bulbs to energy saving ones.

Here are some great reasons to switch your bulbs over:

• They will save you around £55 every year in reduced electricity costs

• They pay back for themselves in only 6 months

• They last up to 10 times longer than traditional, incandescent bulbs

• It’s one of the easiest things you can do to help tackle climate change

• If everyone switched their bulbs we would save almost 5 million tonnes of CO₂ every year, the equivalent of taking 2 million cars off the road

• The quality, variety & brightness of energy saving light bulbs is better than ever

On the right-hand side you can find where to buy a whole range of energy saving bulbs, from Tesco’s buy-one-get-one-free promotion to ones which work with dimmer switches.

We’ve also got information on where you can recycle any energy saving bulbs which might have blown and answers to any questions you might have.

So if you’re looking for a really easy way to reduce your costs this month (and help the planet) then go and switch all your bulbs to energy ones.
