Insulation Tips

1. Insulation is very important – Enough energy to heat 3 million homes is lost through poorly insulated houses each year – The Energy Savings Trust.
2. Make sure your hot water cylinder has an insulation jacket fitted.
3. Make sure all your heating system’s pipes are properly lagged and insulated so energy is not wasted through heat loss.
4. Ensure your loft and cavity walls are all insulated to a high standard – this can save you £100-£120 per year.
5. Pensioners can get a government grant to help with the cost of insulation – visit the Energy Saving Trust for more information. http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/.
6. Have your widows and doors Double glazed – double glazing could save the average UK household £110 per year.
