Serious about savings?

Follow these top tips as recommended by the Energy Saving Trust and you should see a great return on your investment, both financially and environmentally.

1. Lofty ambitions - Insulating your loft is one of the simplest ways to save energy. Insulate your loft today and in a year you could save around £110. For more information about loft insulation click here.
2. Pain-free fillings - Insulate wall cavities. Around 33% of the heat lost in an uninsulated house is through the walls. You could save around £90 on energy bills each year by insulating your wall cavities. It also creates an even temperature in your home. If we all filled our wall cavities, we´d save about £720 million of energy a year. For more information about cavity wall insulation click here.
3. Brush up on energy saving - Eliminate draughts and wasted heat by installing a cheap, easy-to-fix brush or PVC seal on your exterior doors. Letterboxes and keyholes should be covered too.
4. Draught dodgers - Draughts also get in through gaps in floorboards and skirting boards, which also allow heat to escape in winter. Stop this waste by filling these gaps with newspaper, beading or sealant.
5. Use energy saving light bulbs - Switch to energy saving light bulbs. They last around 10 times longer than ordinary light bulbs, and each bulb you fit could save up to £60 on electricity over the bulb´s lifetime. They come in a whole range of styles.
6. Jazz up your tank with a jacket - Insulate your hot water tank with a jacket - it only costs a few pounds and, with all the heat it traps in, it pays for itself within months. Fit one that´s at least 75mm (3") thick and you could save around £20 a year. If every UK household that could fitted an adequate tank-jacket tomorrow, we´d save over £89 million of energy every year!
7. Switch to high-efficiency boilers - If your boiler is over 15 years old it´s probably time to replace it. By law, new gas boilers in England and Wales must now be of the high efficiency condensing type, which can help you save up to a third on your heating bills and even more if you upgrade to modern controls as well.
8. Look for the logo - When purchasing new appliances, always look for the Energy Saving Recommended logo. Energy Saving Recommended appliances are the most efficient in their category and could save you up to £37 a year.
9. Keep twice as warm with double glazing - Double glazing cuts heat loss through windows by 50% and could cut your heating bill by around £90 a year.
