Festive energy saving tips
E.ON Next is sharing tips for customers looking to reduce their energy bills without compromising on the festive fun.
- Customers can unwrap three days of free electricity by switching to Next Direct 18m by 12 December 2025.
- Put Christmas lights on a timer or use a smart plug. Avoid leaving your lights on all night and set them to switch off automatically when everyone’s asleep.
- Switch screens for board games or festive activities. Reducing TV and device time saves electricity and is great for family bonding.
- Lower your thermostat slightly. Even a small drop by 1oC can cut heating costs, while cosy jumpers keep the festive spirit alive.
- Keep lids on pans when cooking those sprouts: lids speed up cooking and cut down on wasted energy.
