Energy efficiency

Using energy efficiently will keep down your fuel costs, make your home warmer and help protect the environment, so it's well worth making a few small changes to your habits.

Placing draught excluders in front of doors, using your heating on a timer, and turning off lights and electrical appliances when not required can make a big difference to your bills without affecting your day-to-day life.

Our homes have been built to a high standard, but if you require extra draughtproofing, this is your responsibility and for a small initial outlay you should be able to recoup your costs through reduced heating bills in the years to come.

If you are on any of a variety of benefits, or are over 60, then you may be eligible for a Home Energy Efficiency Grant. This Government scheme will provide grants for draughtproofing your windows and doors and insulating your loft and hot water tank. Contact our Welfare Rights team for more information.
