Gov't giving tips for saving on winter bills

Government is providing tips on how people can save money on energy bills this winter.

Officials say with winter here - heating gets turned up as days get colder and lights are on for longer as darker hours become more drawn out.

As a result, a list of ten tips has been compiled on how people can not only save money, but also help reduce the Island's carbon footprint.

They include switching off lights in rooms you're not using, only boiling as much water as you need, washing laundry at 30 degrees and only heating rooms you're using.
