Smart plug sockets are a great way of cutting energy expenditure from all those standby appliances and gadgets. On top of that, they&#8217;re great if you\u2019re managing lots of difficult-to-reach sockets, or if reduced mobility makes it difficult to trawl around the house to find them. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Etekcity-Household-Appliances-Unlimited-Connections\/dp\/B00DQELHBS\/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&amp;keywords=etekcity&amp;qid=1607882804&amp;sr=8-5\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Etekcity <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">model can be controlled from up to 100ft away, and comes in at a reasonable $30.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Draft Excluders<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An oldie, but a goodie! And it won\u2019t break the bank. Draft excluders are great at reducing the room-chilling breezes that creep in under doors. Moreover, there\u2019s a load of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/search?q=draught%20excluder\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">independent, boutique companies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> making them out there, so you can rest assured that your holiday shopping will help support small businesses. Plus, you can get them to fit any character or interior.

Shower monitors help you measure your energy expenditure as you wash, meaning you can precisely factor them into your energy budget each month. Moreover, the folks at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amphiro.com\/en\/\">Amphiro <\/a>claim their shower meter can save, for an average three person household each year, the equivalent amount of energy used for all lighting\/electronics. Plus, with products starting at around $84, they&#8217;re offering a 20% Christmas shopping discount if you order now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Room Occupancy Sensor<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Replace your light switch with a room occupancy sensor! The perfect gift if your kids, or your partner (or you!) have trouble remembering to switch off the darn lights. These sensors turn lights on when you enter, and off when a room\u2019s been left lit but unused. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/stores\/page\/459B155D-17C9-456D-A284-010FCE86703F?ingress=0&amp;visitId=877e1908-fe91-4925-ba3b-52bb833ab179&amp;channel=Lutron%20Sensors%20WTB\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lutron Room Occupancy Sensor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, for example, is a top choice starting at $20 per sensor. And it can be installed in just 15 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Radiator Booster<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, if you\u2019re a customer living with old-school radiators, you\u2019ll know they\u2019re great for drying towels &#8211; but not hot on energy efficiency. However, a radiator booster is an easy way of recouping some of those lost energy dollars. These boosters slot on top of the radiator, distributing more of that invaluable heat around the room. Try the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Radfan-Classic-Small-Power-Radiator\/dp\/B00GR0STTG\/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&amp;keywords=radiator+booster&amp;qid=1607884950&amp;s=kitchen&amp;sr=1-2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">radiator booster from RadFan,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for around $60.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Find Gifts for Energy Efficient Geeks<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>In sum, folks, don\u2019t let the festive season leave your energy drained &#8211; let our energy-savvy gift ideas help you out!
