This is a massive rise in just 10 years. In fact, the chances are you are spending over £1,300 every year on gas and electricity bills.
But by following our expert energy saving advice, you can slash these expenses and leave yourself with more disposable income at the end of every month.
Using the Green Deal for your home improvements
The Green Deal is a Government scheme to help homeowners improve the energy efficiency of their property. As national energy prices continue to rise, it’s worthwhile considering the scheme to help you reduce your own bills.
So take a look at the steps you need to take:
Step One: Arrange a survey
Your first step to making use of the Green Deal is having a survey completed by a recognised Green Deal assessor. They’ll come to your home, speak to you about your energy use and requirements, before suggesting the ways your home could be improved.
Step Two: Make a decision
Once your home has been seen by an assessor you’ll be able to make an educated decision in how to improve the property. Take the advice on board and decide how best to reduce your energy bills.
Step Three: Finance the project
There are a few options available to you when it comes to financing the improvement you opt for. Of course, you could make use of a Government loan via the Green Deal, or you could choose finance through a particular company.
On the other hand, paying for the work yourself will see you making huge savings straight away. Rather than paying back a loan, you can save for decades. This is the option we’d recommend.
Step Four: Make the home improvement
Whichever home improvement you decide on, now’s the time to complete the project. Choose a fantastic company to install the improvement and start seeing the amazing benefits straight away.
