Money Saving Expert gurus encouraged the nation to check out what freebies are available to them that help cut down on bills.
As reported by the MSE, properties across much of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are entitled to free insulation and water-saving gadgets.
They include shower heads, which help regulate water usage, and usually cost around £20.
Brits could also be offered tap inserts which again regulate water flow, and are normally from £5.
Another big saver is water butts, which gather rain water for gardening, and can be a steep £20.
Cheaper items such as garden hose nozzles and shower timers may also be up for grabs and help pocket a few extra quid.
The Energy Saving Trust suggested that replacing an inefficient shower head could reduce a family-of-four’s gas and water bill by £30 each, per annum.
According to the Money Saving Experts, one of each gadget can be handed out per household.
It will depend on what water company you’re with, and where you live.
This is managed by water efficiency company Save Water Save Money.
Bristol Water and South East Water set out their free gifts online via Save Water Save Money.
All customers have to do is enter their postcode in the ‘free water-saving devices’ box and give their details to get them delivered.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth Water, Cambridge Water, Dŵr Cymru, Guernsey Water, Hafren Dyfrdwy, Portsmouth Water, SES Water, Severn Trent, South Staffs Water, South West Water, Wessex Water, NI Water, Jersey Water, Scottish Water, United Utilities and Yorkshire Water require customers to use Save Water Save Money’s savings calculator.
