One of my favourite affiliates is John Lewis. Over the last year I’ve bought my vacuum cleaner (a Sebo upright), my PVR hard drive recorder (a Humax) and my dishwasher (A Siemens) from them.

Although this is good news for our pockets and the environment, the energy savings to be made these days are often relatively minor and there’s a trick that can save hundreds of pounds a year that many people neglect.
