There’s no getting around it, we live in a cold climate and keeping your home warm costs a great deal of money. The department of energy predicts that prices for natural gas and electricity will again rise later this year.
We can all turn the dial on the thermostat down or wear thicker clothing indoors to save money but this is difficult to do and very uncomfortable. One sure way to save on energy costs is to ensure your loft is insulated correctly.
A recent survey of householders in the North of the country revealed that over 45% had not checked the insulation in their loft in the last 3 years. The survey pointed out the savings that could be made at little or no cost to the homeowner over the next 5 years, asked again if they were going to check and the emphatic answer was yes!
One of the easiest and cheapest ways to keep warm in your house is to insulate the loft area. If you are on certain allowances this can be installed free of charge, just check below to see if you qualify.
It really makes sense to ensure you are doing all you can to save money and in turn help the environment. Insulating is just one way you can reduce your monthly expenditure. Have you checked your central heating boiler lately? If not getting it serviced can save a fortune each year. If the boiler is old and inefficient you should consider replacing it as the savings are massive in the long term.
