The Visual Guide To Energy Efficiency In The Home
Which? the consumer group, has said that the energy cap freeze will help homeowners save £1,000. Although this is a good saving, if you think that the price cap was around £1,300 just over a year ago, it still means that many householders will be paying far more for energy than they can afford to.
It’s a bit of a nightmare with winter coming.
Help with energy can be gained from places like Citizen’s Advice, and Visual also has some advice of its own to try and bring down the cost of your bills.
Cut your showering time to 5 minutes
Why specifically 5 minutes? For two reasons. The first is that 5 minutes is more than sufficient time to shower yourself clean, and 5 minutes is also the recommended length of showering time by health experts.
Setting a stopwatch the second that you step into a shower is a good way of making sure that you don’t go over the time limit and waste valuable energy.
Dry clothes outside, not inside
It doesn’t make sense to use your radiators or tumble dryer to dry your wet clothing when the weather outside is dry and warm enough to do it for you.
There will almost certainly be the odd autumn and winter day when you can peg out some washing, and this will also prevent a buildup of moisture in your house, which can occur from putting clothes on radiators and using drying appliances. It’s this moisture that causes condensation on windows.
Get your house fitted with energy efficient windows & doors
A home will only be well-insulated if it has windows and doors that keep heat in and stop it from escaping too easily.
Our energy efficient windows and doors are all designed to do that and will bring heat loss to a virtual stop, making sure that very little of the heat created by your boiler goes to waste. The increased warmth will be felt very quickly after the windows and doors have been fitted, and you may find that your energy bills become cheaper in future.
