Insulate Your Home
Did you know that a major source of the 'Greenhouse' gas, carbon dioxide
(CO2), which contributes to global warming and climate change, is a result
of wasted energy in the home?
In the UK, one quarter of all carbon dioxide emissions come from the energy
we use to heat and light our homes, and power our household
appliances.
By saving energy in the home you are reducing the amount of carbon dioxide
released into the atmosphere and so helping to reduce the threat of global
climate change.
Warmer Homes, Lower Bills
By reducing the amount of wasted energy from your home, you are not only
'doing your bit' for the environment, but you'll also start to see
significant improvements in the warmth and comfort of your property, as
well as lower fuel bills.
Two of the most popular ways to dramatically reduce heat loss are cavity
wall and loft insulation. And the good news is that thanks to various
Government and Utility initiatives the cost of having the work carried out
won't burn a hole in your pocket! You may even qualify for a grant
(see Grants & Discounts).
There are also many simple 'no cost' things that you can do around the home
to save energy and reduce your annual fuel bills by 10-15%. (see Energy Tips)
