7% have actually broken up following an argument about this- times are tight and leaving lights on is the equivalent of throwing money away.

Leaving the TV on

For who? The house ghost? If there is no one watching it- what's the actual point? Unless you want to feel like you have company- in which case- call someone or make a plan.

Not turning off the lights when leaving the house

It's a good idea to give the impression there's someone in when you're out- but why leave the most expensive light on in the house?

Leaving windows open

Burglars and more importantly- bugs- can get in. If you like your stuff and/or are afraid of insects- don't do it!

Leaving doors open

It's like holding a neon sign over your house saying- 'come in and take what you want!'

Not locking the doors

You may be giving the impression that your home is secure to passers-by- but if they are opportunists you aren't going to have a good day.

Forgetting to turn off a light before bed

How can anyone sleep with a light on?

Changing the heat to either too hot or cold

Put on a sweater or open a window!

Leaving electrical devices e.g straighteners on

Your hair may look incredible but your house wont when it's burned to the ground.

Not waking up to an alarm in the morning
