Cut Your Gas And Electricity Bills

By:


One way to reduce your gas and electricity bills is to find a cheaper supplier. There are a number of suppliers competing for your business, and it is worth shopping around. Savings are available, for example with British Gas, whose Dual Fuel price plan for gas and electricity can work out much cheaper, especially if you sign up for paperless billing.

Making your home more energy efficient is another great way to reduce your bills. Here are some easy ways to help you cut the amount of energy being lost in your home.

Install double glazed windows and make sure that your home is sufficiently insulated. Just by insulating your loft, you can save up to two hundred pounds a year on your heating bills.

If you can, insulate your walls with cavity wall insulation or solid wall insulation. Roughly thirty per cent of the heat in your home is lost through your walls, so just by insulating your walls correctly you could save significant amounts of money.

It may also be worth contacting your local council as some local authorities offer reduced rates on energy saving home improvements.

Try to ensure your home is draft free and this will help to keep the heat in. Try fitting some brushes to your letterbox to keep drafts out your home. If you can seal up all the gaps between your flooring and skirting boards, you could save up to 50 on your heating bill.

Your boiler is due to be replaced if it is over fifteen years old. You can really help cut your carbon emissions and save money if you install an efficient condensing boiler to heat your home and your water. Modern condensing boilers are much more efficient than conventional boilers, and convert more of the fuel into heat.

When buying or replacing appliances in your home such as washing machines and dishwashers, check the energy rating. Sometimes the cheapest appliances have a poor energy rating and will cost you, and the environment, more in the long run than slightly more expensive, more efficient machines.
