General information

Insulation:

• Did you know that in an uninsulated house nearly 60% of the heat is lost through the walls and roof.
• As well as reducing fuel bills, insulation can also help prevent condensation on walls and ceilings, and give your home a more even temperature, all year round.
• If you do not currently have any installing loft insulation in your loft, by installing it to a depth of at least 270mm (10"), you could save around £145 a year (for a gas heated, three-bed semi-detached house).
• If your home is un-insulated, a third of the heat your central heating system generates will be lost through the walls.
• Insulating your cavity walls can save you around £110 a year off your heating bills.

Heating:

• Save up to £225 a year on your heating bills by replacing an old G-rated boiler with an A-rated condensing boiler with a full set of heating controls (based on a gas heated 3 bed semi-detached house).
• Reduce your heating bills by up to a third by replacing an old G-rated boiler with an A-rated condensing boiler with a full set of heating controls (based on a gas heated 3 bed semi-detached house).
• Fitting a room thermostat (if your central heating system does not have one currently) can save you around £50 a year off your heating bills (based on a gas heated 3 bed semi-detached house).

Glazing:

• In an uninsulated house, 18% of the heat is lost through the windows.
• Replacing the single glazing in a gas heated, 3 bed semi-detached house with Energy Saving
• Recommended double-glazing (with an energy rating of C) can save you around £130 per year.
