Saving Energy and Money

For many people the recent cold weather will have highlighted how a severe winter combined with steep increases in oil, gas and electricity prices could result in financial hardship. But help is at hand.

The DIY and home improvement website www.lets-do-diy.com is currently offering advice on how to cut domestic fuel bills this winter. Under the heading “Get Switched On To Saving Energy” the main areas where energy is lost are identified and a range of measures recommended for improving energy efficiency – resulting in lower domestic fuel bills.

Many of the energy saving solutions discussed are relatively inexpensive and simple to install, and include insulation, draught proofing and secondary glazing.

Information is also provided on various agencies offering grants to fund part or all of the work required to make your home more energy efficient.

The website’s editor John Burry said: “Many households are facing an increase of almost 40% in their heating and lighting bills this winter. But by carrying out the energy saving recommendations in the lets-do-diy.com article, domestic energy bills can be reduced dramatically.”
