We are back to yap about all things energy saving and hopefully, we’re going to see how we can save you some coins as well. Energy Savers Week is in full swing from January 20th to 26th, 2025, and we’ve got the inside scoop on how to level up your energy-saving game.
Watts Up??
This is the official Energy Savers Week.
Listen, smart technology is revolutionising the way we use energy, making it easier than ever to optimise our homes. Smart thermostats, for example, adapt to your daily routine, automatically adjusting heating and cooling schedules to maximise efficiency. My Aunt hates this because she thinks it’s not smart enough to read her. I just think she’s a little too unpredictable. They can even use geofencing to reduce heating costs when you’re away. Smart power strips are another essential, cutting off electricity to devices in standby mode and eliminating phantom energy use from appliances like TVs and gaming consoles.
For those looking to take control of their energy needs, the Jackery Explorer 1000 V2 Portable Power Station is just what you need, and it’s currently on sale!! . It’s perfect for powering essential devices during outages or creating a more energy-efficient off-grid setup. Pair it with smart home technology for the ultimate in energy-saving convenience. Plus, I think Split the Dealer used this on is set? Or did he not…hmm.
A well-insulated home is key to staying warm while cutting energy costs. Start with your loft—ensure the insulation is at least 270mm thick to prevent heat from escaping through the roof. Cavity wall insulation is another great option, especially for homes built between 1920 and 1990, because it dramatically reduces heat loss through walls. Don’t forget your floors; insulating exposed areas like garages or crawl spaces with draught excluders can eliminate cold drafts and keep your home cozy.
For an extra kick, consider pairing your energy-saving upgrades with the Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus. This system provides reliable backup energy for heating systems and essential appliances, all powered by renewable solar energy.
Windows are a common source of energy loss, but small upgrades can make a big difference. Replacing old windows with double or triple glazing helps retain heat, reduce noise, and improve overall efficiency. For an extra layer of insulation, heavy curtains, thermal blinds, or insulated shutters can keep warmth in and cold out during the night.
You can also harness natural sunlight during the day with the Jackery SolarSaga 100W Solar Panel. This portable, lightweight solar panel captures clean energy to power your home or outdoor adventures, making it an eco-friendly addition to any energy-saving strategy.
Understanding your energy consumption is the first step to reducing it. Conducting a DIY home energy audit is easier than you think. I learned this hack from my grandma; use a candle to detect drafts around windows and doors. If the flame flickers, it’s a sign of air leakage that can be sealed with draught-proofing materials.
An energy monitor can help identify energy-hogging appliances, enabling you to make smarter replacement decisions. To further enhance your home’s efficiency, consider adding the Jackery Explorer 1000 V2 Portable Power Station and the Jackery SolarSaga 100W Solar Panel. Together, they are a sustainable, portable power solution for charging devices, running appliances, or providing backup energy during upgrades.
Staying warm while saving energy has never been easier. Instead of cranking up the thermostat, focus on personal warmth. The Savior Heat S20 Waterproof Heated Gloves are a perfect example. Designed for comfort and efficiency, these gloves are breathable, waterproof, and ideal for outdoor activities or working in cold spaces. By keeping yourself warm, you can cut down on energy use while staying cozy and comfortable.
This year, Energy Savers Week is all about the power of community. Neighbourhood energy-saving challenges encourage friendly competition and foster sustainable habits. Hosting swap shops for energy-efficient gadgets like smart plugs, LED bulbs, and solar panels can make a real impact. You can also organise workshops to teach DIY skills like draught-proofing or radiator bleeding.
Community projects can benefit from tools like the Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus and the Jackery SolarSaga 100W Solar Panel. Together, they offer a versatile, clean energy solution for powering shared spaces or supporting sustainable initiatives.
As the UK moves closer to its 2050 net-zero emissions goal, every action we take counts. Energy Savers Week 2025 reminds us that small changes can lead to big results. By upgrading your home with advanced tools like the Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus, and the Jackery SolarSaga 100W Solar Panel, you can make a meaningful difference while lowering your bills.
In this video, you can see how much range we have as well! Jackery battery brothers.
Let’s make this the most impactful Energy Savers Week yet. Together, we can create a brighter, greener future—one smart decision at a time.
Get into it!
