Who doesn't want to save money on energy bills? With the price of general utility bills rising, there are a few recommendations that you might just want to take on board when it comes to saving money on gas, electric and oil heating. Even the smallest of changes can have a huge effect on how much you are paying each month. Did you know, by simply turning down your thermostat by just 1°C – this can allow you to save up to £60 per year?

As well as the countless energy saving tips that can seriously cut back your utility costs, there are numerous new energy saving inventions that may change the face of the energy saving world as we know it.

Now, have you ever heard of the Makani Energy Kite? In 2013, Google took over the Makani Company – the creators of the Energy Kite; a new type of wind turbine which has been designed to generate more energy. This uses 90% less materials whilst generating 50% more power. Move over conventional turbines; the Makani Energy Kite could soon be providing energy to a home near you.

The Hyrdrobee is another new energy saving invention. This small device generates electricity for USB powered devices and it can be used to generate the power from flowing water, a hand crank, kinetic energy, solar power and more!

With mobile phones now seemingly a necessity and an integral part to everyday life, often the question has been raised about how eco-friendly they really are. Toxic produce such as mercury, lead and cadmium among other materials pose a serious threat to today’s environment. Not only are manufactures looking at creating eco-friendly mobile phones, but also eco-friendly chargers. Many chargers in the future will be made with environmentally-friendly materials, and powered by renewable energy sources. This therefore will curtail the pollution that derives from both out of use and current in use mobile devices and chargers.

By using heating oil which has been specifically modified to be boiler friendly, you can be rest assured that it will improve the overall efficiency of the boiler itself. Premium Kerosene is of a more refined quality than standard Kerosene, which reduces the build-up of both carbon and sludge within your boiler system. Developed so that no modifications are necessary for your boiler or tank, Premium Kerosene will reduce the risk of having a breakdown and can also lower your boiler maintenance costs.
