Saving energy: other energy saving investments

Cavity wall insulation

Filling the gap between the two walls of a house with an insulating material massively decreases the amount of heat which escapes through the walls. It will help create a more even temperature in your home, help prevent condensation on the walls and ceilings and can also reduce the amount of heat building up inside your home during summer hot spells.

Energy saving light bulbs

Energy saving light bulbs use less electricity than standard bulbs to do the same job. In turn, using less energy like electricity means that our homes produce less carbon dioxide: one of the main causes of climate change.

Loft insulation

It acts as a blanket, trapping heat rising from the house below. You should also consider lagging your pipes at the same time for optimum efficiency. See how we used sheepswool loft insulation in our Bilford Road property

Energy saving glazing

Double glazing creates an insulating barrier by trapping air between two panes of glass. Remember to look for the Energy Saving Recommended logo when choosing your windows, that way you can be sure they are the most energy efficient, as the whole window (frame and glass) is assessed on a rating of A-G by the British Fenestration Ratings Council.
