Home Energy Saving
We all use energy in our homes to provide heating and run
appliances. In the UK the majority of this energy is
generated from burning fossil fuels such as gas and coal.
This process produces carbon dioxide, a major cause of climate
change.In this country our homes are responsible for 27% of the
carbon dioxide emissions. One of our primary objectives
in Eastleigh is to help our residents to reduce their
energy use, both to save them money, and reduce the emissions of
carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.
The Energy Saving Trust
website is an excellent source of information on insulation,
heating, energy efficient appliances and lighting.
Eastleigh Borough Council has produced a Home Energy and Fuel Poverty
strategy for 2008 to 2011.
