Do you know where your home sits on the energy obesity scales? Simply answer the questions below to see whether you need to trim your home's energy use.

Please complete all fields.

1. How do you think your day-to-day energy consumption impacts on the environment?

You don't think about it at all - you're not going to be around in 50 years time, so what's the point?

You could save a bit more energy, but big factories cause the most damage!

You know that your home’s energy consumption is damaging to the environment so you do your bit - however small.

Your home’s energy consumption has an important effect on the environment and we all need to change our behaviour and cut down on excess energy munching.

2. You decide to pop to the gym just 10 minutes down the road. Do you...

Jump in the 4X4. You’re already doing enough exercise!

Share a lift with your friend - neither of you would ever get there if you walked!

Walk there - it’s only 10 minutes! You only use the car for short journeys if it’s raining.

Run to the gym! Who needs a car? You always travel by foot, on bike or by public transport.

3. When it comes to switching off the television do you...

Often leave the TV on when not in the room, and when you do remember you only switch it to standby.

Usually leave the TV on standby -it doesn’t make that much difference, does it?

Try to remember to switch the TV off properly, and feel guilty if you see the red standby light.

Always ensure that all appliances are switched off at the mains.

4. Which of the following best describes the appliances in your home?

You wouldn’t know if any of the appliances in your home had the energy saving recommended logo, let alone what it meant.

You have at least one energy saving recommended appliance, but are more concerned with cost when buying new products for your home.

You’ve a mix and match of product ratings, but would definitely choose energy saving recommended products when purchasing new appliances.

Every energy-rated appliance in your home is energy saving recommended and is only responsible for a minimum amount of energy use, helping you to save your 20%.

5. How would you best describe the lighting in your home?

There are no energy-saving recommended light bulbs in your home and you often leave lights on in unoccupied rooms.

You don’t buy energy-saving recommended light bulbs but you try to remember to turn lights off when you leave the room.

There are at least 2 - 3 energy-saving recommended light bulbs in your home, and you intend to replace the ordinary ones when they run out. You also generally switch off lights in unoccupied rooms.

Every light fitting in your home sports an energy-saving recommended light bulb and you always switch off the lights when you don’t need them.

6. In the run up to winter, it’s slowly getting colder both in-doors and out. How do you cope with the cold?

You turn the heating on at the first sign of autumn, then off again come spring. But your house is so poorly insulated and draughty that it still gets cold.

You think there’s some loft insulation laid down, but you’re not sure how much. You switch the heating on and off, as and when you need it - sometimes forgetting to turn it off when you leave the house in the morning.

You’ve had loft insulation laid within the last 5 years, and the heating is timed to only come on when you need it. There’s no need to keep the heating on when you’re not there.

Your house is so well insulated, having installed both loft and cavity wall insulation, that hardly any heat escapes from your cosy home, and your heating bills and energy wastage are much lower than before.
