Heat rises, and in an uninsulated home a quarter of your heat is lost through the roof. Insulating your loft, attic or flat roof is a simple and effective way to save that waste and reduce your heating bills. Loft insulation is effective for at least 40 years and could save you up to £175 per year.

Around a third of all the heat lost in an uninsulated home goes through the walls? In winter, the colder it is outside, the faster heat from your home will escape into the surrounding air. Insulating your walls could save you up to £135 per year.

All properties lose heat through their windows but energy-efficient glazing keeps your home warmer and quieter as well as reducing your energy bills. That might mean double or triple glazing, secondary glazing, or just heavier curtains. Replacing your windows could save you around £165 per year.

Lagging water tanks and pipes reduces the amount of heat that escapes, so you spend less money heating water up, and hot water stays hotter for longer. Insulating (lagging) your Hot Water Cylinder and primary pipework could save you up to £55 per year.

You can upgrade or install heating controls without replacing your boiler, and it’s a particularly good idea to think about this if your controls are over 12 years old. Installing a room thermostat and hot water cylinder stat could save you up to £100 per year. Installing Thermostatic Radiator Valves and heating zone controls could save you even more.

Regular maintenance of your boiler not only keeps you and your home safe but also saves money and helps protect the environment. A poorly maintained boiler can cause it to work inefficiently meaning greater fuel usage and additional cost to you.
