Gas and electricity prices have been increased by each of the \u2018big six\u2019 suppliers, including British Gas, Npower and E.ON.<\/p>\n<p>As such, boosting home energy efficiency is at the top of many people\u2019s improvement list for 2014.<\/p>\n<p>The Government is keen to improve the nation\u2019s efficiency too and with the Green Deal, there\u2019s an opportunity to slash expenses by implementing changes to your property.<\/p>\n<p>Although in 2013 the Green Deal wasn\u2019t hugely popular and many experts claimed it to be a failure, over 100,000 initial assessments have been conducted around the UK. Homeowners haven\u2019t taken advantage of the loans available though, instead preferring to invest themselves and ultimately, reap all financial rewards.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Green Deal research:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>81%<\/strong> have or intend to have at least one improvement measure completed. This includes loft lagging, wall cavity insulation, double glazing and a replacement boiler. These customers will either take a Green Deal loan or invest their own money<\/li>\n<li><strong>78%<\/strong> had confidence in the assessment and what was recommended. On top of this, 76% of those who had assessments suggested they\u2019d recommend a Green Deal assessment to a friend.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"width: 666px; float: left; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 8px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2166 lazyload\" alt=\"Overhead view of young man reading a invoice document\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.anytrades.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Supplier.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"380\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 620px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 620\/380;\" \/><br \/>\n<i>Image from <a title=\"Conservatories\" href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/quotatis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">pinterest<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n<p>Greg Barker, the Energy and Climate Change Minister, said: \u201cThe research undertaken in November shows that Green Deal assessments are highly valued by customers. Crucially they are helping people to control their energy costs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver 100,000 assessments have been carried out so it\u2019s particularly encouraging that over 80% of people have, or are intending to install at least one measure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Green Deal Scheme was launched with a significant war chest; over \u00a3450 million aimed at households. But because of the loan system the scheme runs, homeowners have opted to instead invest their own money.<\/p>\n<p>Once the insulation measure has been fitted you\u2019ll see instant savings on your energy bills. For loft or wall cavity insulation you can save hundreds of pounds every year, and with a replacement boiler you can cut your expenses by over \u00a3300 annually.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Facts and Figures You&#8217;ll Love To Share<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>[tweetable alt=&#8221;&#8221;]76% would recommend a Green Deal assessment to a friend![\/tweetable]<\/li>\n<li>[tweetable alt=&#8221;&#8221;]Over 100,000 assessments have been carried out and over 80% of these are intending to install.[\/tweetable]<\/li>\n<li>[tweetable alt=&#8221;&#8221;]Over \u00a3450 million is aimed at households for the Green Deal Scheme.[\/tweetable]<\/li>\n<li>[tweetable alt=&#8221;&#8221;]Save money instantly when you insulate your home![\/tweetable]<\/li>\n<li>[tweetable alt=&#8221;&#8221;]You can cut your expenses by \u00a3300 when you replace your old inefficient boiler![\/tweetable]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\nvar sqn = 11194;\nvar id_site = 33;\nvar id_pc = 17;\nvar width = 650;\nvar bgcolor = 'transparent';\nvar font_size = '11';\nvar font_family_global = 'arial,helvetica,sans-serif';\nvar font_family_title = 'arial,helvetica,sans-serif';\nvar font_family_input = 'arial,helvetica,sans-serif';\nvar font_color_global = '#333';\nvar font_color_title = '#234B7B';\nvar font_color_input = '#3A3A3A';\nvar font_color_radiocheck = '#666';\nvar bgcolor_rollover = '#cce9f9';\nvar scenario_font_global = 'arial,helvetica,sans-serif';\nvar scenario_color_text = '#5A5A5A';\nvar scenario_color_title = '#234B7B';\nvar onestep = 1;\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/www.anytrades.co.uk\/js\/prefilled-form-load.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The recent energy price hikes have seen more and more homeowners struggling with their household bills.
