In a nutshell, the device provides personalised advice on how to save energy by remotely and digitally logging how much energy your devices are using. This new innovation is part of the Hive technology group and you can read more about the award winning device here: http://www.joulo.com/

  8. A full freezer costs less to run. If you have spaces, fill them with plastic bottles filled with water (leaving room for expansion of course.) Then when you go shopping for food to fill the space, you can take the bottles along as ice packs to keep the food frozen on the journey home.
