The type of adaptation found in a mobility-standard home depends on the disability of the person living there. It can have:
- ramps outside the home
- handrails in corridors and bathrooms
- toilets that have been raised
- stairlifts for people living in houses and maisonettes.
-Turning down your thermostat by only 1°C could reduce your heating bills by up to 10% - saving you some £50 per year. The recommended temperature in your living room is 21°C (70°F).
-Set your hot water tank to 60°C to prevent water from being overheated.
-Conserve energy by not leaving electrical items on standby. Prevent further wastage by not keeping laptops and mobile phones charging unnecessarily.
-Draw your curtains at dusk to retain heat in your home, and make sure the curtains, or any furniture, are not blocking your radiators.
-Take a 3 minute shower rather than a bath – showers use a lot less hot water.
-Wash your clothes at 30°C, with a full load each time.
-Defrost frozen food in the fridge overnight, as this will reduce the cooking time. And use the right size of pan for the amount of food you are cooking. Put just enough water in the pan to cover the vegetables rather than fill the whole pan, and always put the lid on to keep the heat in.
-Keep internal doors closed to reduce draughts.
