BETTER CHOICES

Buy less. Choose well.

Recommendations belong here only when there is a clear problem to solve. No product gets a place because it pays a commission.

WORTH CONSIDERING

A simple draught seal

If a door has a visible gap and you feel a draught, a suitable seal can be a low-cost fix. Measure the gap, check the door closes properly and repair damaged hardware first.

Buy only the type that fits your door. We have not selected a brand or seller.

SAVE YOUR MONEY

A gadget that promises to “cut every power bill”

Be wary of plug-in devices with sweeping savings claims and no clear way to change how your household uses electricity. Check your bill and tariff before buying a gadget.

No product link. We do not recommend one.

SAVE YOUR MONEY

Replacing an appliance that still works well

Efficiency gains must outweigh purchase cost and the material impact of making a replacement. Repair, maintain and run the numbers before replacing it early.

Revisit when the appliance is nearing replacement.
