Winter Energy Saving Tips

With winter fast approaching and energy bills rising, we are all looking for ways to save money!

There are many small tips out there:

• Cover draughty areas
• Turn down the thermostat
• Turn off instead of leaving appliances on standby
• Switch off lights when you aren’t in the room
• Let the sun in during the day

These are great as they are cheap and free ways, but do only save you pennies rather than pounds.

Here are some more effective tips:

• Replace your fossil fuel boiler with a energy efficient alternative, e.g. a air or ground source heat pump.
• Harness solar energy, through solar PV and solar thermal.
• Switch to LED lighting
• Store energy from your renewables with a battery storage product.

Though we do understand that these can be pricey solutions and budgets are tight with the cost of living increasing. If you are eager to implement some of the above tips but unsure about affordability please do get in touch as we may be able to help!

For example there is a grant currently available which offers a sum of money of the cost of installing air and ground source heat pumps when removing a fossil fuel boiler.
