Why Save Energy?
There are three good reasons for using
energy more efficiently:
Did You Know
- the average British household spends
about £1500 per year on fuel bills? The
costs are rising over the years and the possibility of fossil fuel
depletion is affecting the provision of our heating and electricity
supplies now.
- 30% or more could be saved by improving
insulation and heating?
- The heat and power used in your home is
responsible for one quarter of the
UK's emissions of carbon dioxide, one of
the main gases that causes climate change?
- There are a range of carbon footprint calculators on our
climate change page.
Energy efficiency measures in your home also help you keep warm
in the winter months. Visit our Health &
Warmth page for more information about how a cold home
can affect you and your loved ones
