Heating Bill Tips
Here are 8 great ways to save on your heating bills.
Solid Wall Insulation
If your home has solid walls, you’ll be loosing more heat through them than properties with cavity walls. Internal or external solid wall insulation could save you up to £400 a year.
Loft Insulation
Insulating your loft could save you up to £150 off your energy bills. Grants are available to help with the cost of insulating your loft. With this assistance your investment could have paid for itself in 2 years.
Double Glazing
Fitting fully double glazing or secondary glazing on your windows can save you up to £135 a year by stopping heat escaping from your home. Also it will help cut out noise pollution.
Cavity Wall Insulation
Most houses built since 1920 have cavity walls and filling them with insulation foam can save you up to £115 per year. There are many grants available to assist you in the cavity wall insulation.
Floor Insulation
Heat escapes through the floor into the ground but by laying fibre boards under your existing flooring will improve insulation. sealing any gaps between floorboards and skirting with silicone can help prevent draughts too.
Extra Loft Insulation
You may already have a layer of insulation but if you feel this is not enough, you can try supplementing this with extra rolls of insulation. Extra rolls could save you upto £45 per annum.
Insulate your hot water tank
Ensure that your hot water tank is well wrapped up to prevent heat from the water escaping. fitting a hot water jacket over the tank could save you upto £35 a yr on your energy bills.
Plug Draughts
If you can feel draughts around your external doors, windows, letterboxes and window frames prevent heat loss by fitting draught excluders
