Savings
The Energy Saving Trust gives guidelines to the potential annual savings on fuel bills that can be made, they are:
- Cavity wall insulation – up to £115
- Solid wall insulation – up to £400
- Loft insulation – up to £150.
They are all substantial savings and, as fuel prices rise, will help householders save even more energy and money.
Saving the planet
When we talk about savings we automatically thing of our bank balances. But it would be hard not to have heard about the harm we are all doing to our world and atmosphere by using too much energy.
You can play your part in cutting harmful emissions – the sensible way to do that is to use less heat. Having a well insulated home does just that.
A fact to remember – the Energy Saving Trust calculates that the average UK household creates 5.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) every year, all helping to pollute the atmosphere.
In 2007 142 million tonnes of carbon dioxide was created from the energy used to light, heat and power our homes – 26 per cent of the UK total for the year.
