Mendip District Council is sharing five top tips from its newly launched Somerset Energy Saver website which could help households save £100s this winter.
Financial assistance - money may be available for retrofitting measures such as cavity walls, external wall, underfloor and loft insulation which could significantly improve a property's efficiency. Visit somersetenergysaver.co.uk/financial-help for more information.
Draught-proof your home - one of the easiest, cheapest and most effective ways to reduce energy usage in the home. Pay atention to windows, doors and loft hatches. Be careful not to block any air bricks or vents that may be needed to allow air to circulate your property.
Swap in low-energy bulbs - although it will require an initial outlay, swapping old halogen bulbs to energy-efficient LEDs can dramatically cut a home's electricity consumption and save money in the long run.
Choose energy-efficient new appliances - when replacing electrical appliances, pay close attention to the efficiency ratings. The closer to A, the more efficient the device will be.
Service your boiler annually - servicing your boiler once a year will allow it to work as efficiently as possible for as long as possible.
