Asides from the obvious ways in which we can save on our energy usage and bills there is something else that can help to cut our energy usage and bills and that something is... Hive!

We've had a Hive Thermostat for a while now and honestly?.. I now can't imagine not having it! In short we can control our heating directly from our smartphones via the Hive app, so we have instant access to our heating wherever and whenever we are. If we leave the house and forget to turn the heating off, no problem, we just turn it off on using our phone rather than feel annoyed about wasting the heat and the money used to heat the house. And then when we are coming home and don't want to return to a freezing cold house? No problem - we simply turn it back on 20 minutes before we get home!
