Simple energy saving for UK homes
The 5 to 1 Rule™ turns energy saving into a routine your household can actually stick to: five habits, one method, and a clear next step into the app.
Website for explanation and trust. App for daily use, reminders, tracking and family plans.
A cleaner separation: the website explains the method; the app helps families use it every day.
What is the 5 to 1 Rule?
It is a practical household routine built around five straightforward actions that help cut avoidable energy waste without turning life into admin.
5
Keep most showers to around five minutes.
4
Switch off four standby energy vampires each day.
3
Check three key temperature settings regularly.
2
Run two lower-energy laundry loads where practical.
1
Finish with one quick nightly home energy sweep.
Why it matters
The method is easy to remember, easy to explain, and easier to repeat than vague “save more energy” advice.
How it works
The website gives the method context. The app turns it into a usable daily routine.
Understand the method
Learn what each number means, why the actions matter, and where typical savings may come from.
Open the app
Enter simple household assumptions and personalise the wording so it sounds right for your home.
Track the habits
Tick habits as you use them and build consistency rather than relying on good intentions.
Use reminders and export a plan
Set a reminder, see estimated savings, and create a family plan for the kitchen, utility room, or group chat.
Why households may like it
This is designed for normal homes, normal routines, and real-life attention spans.
Start with practical actions before thinking about hardware upgrades.
A memorable structure that works better than generic advice.
Turn the method into a simple plan the household can actually follow.
Track habits, reminders and estimates in the companion app rather than on a cluttered web page.
