Ways To Make Your Home More Energy Efficient
2
  • With energy prices soaring of late, conserving
    energy is at the forefront of many a homeowners
    mind, and fortunately, there are a few simple but
    effective ways to reduce your energy bills and
    help protect the environment
  • How to reduce heat loss in your home
  • Insulation
  • A properly insulated home is the simplest way to
    reduce heat loss and have a home that is
    comfortably warm. Did you know that about a third
    of heat is lost through the walls of an
    uninsulated home, while a further quarter is lost
    through the roof. With this in mind, its
    important to protect your home from losing heat
    and wasting energy by ensuring your home has
    some, or all of the following

  • Cavity wall insulation
  • Solid wall insulation
  • Floor insulation
  • Roof and loft insulation
  • Draft-proofing on windows and doors
  • Insulated hot water cylinders, tanks, pipes and
    radiators
  • Windows
  • You can also consider upgrading your windows to
    more energy efficient ones that are double or
    triple glazed.

4
  • Heating systems
  • Even with a well-insulated home, it can be
    expensive to heat your home and have hot water
    when you need it. However, by switching to a
    low-carbon heating system you can get the heat
    you need, more efficiently, with things like
  • Air-to-water, ground-to-water, hybrid or
    solar-assisted heat pumps
  • Modern boilers
  • Electric heating
  • Solar-powered water heating

5
  • Heating controls
  • Wherever possible, having a timer to control the
    temperature in your home can help make sure that
    you dont waste energy by heating it too much or
    unnecessarily, and turning your thermostat down
    by as little as one or two degrees can help you
    make energy savings, too. You may also want to
    consider installing a smart thermostat that can
    be controlled using your phone, for more accurate
    and less wasteful heat consumption.

6
  • Renewable energy
  • If you dont want to depend upon unpredictable
    and often costly price hikes from your utility
    supplier, you should consider investing in a
    renewable energy source, such as solar. Create
    your own electricity or heat, reduce your energy
    bills and carbon emissions significantly, and
    even increase the value of your home should you
    need to sell it. Solar panels are by far the most
    realistic renewable energy source for the average
    household, and by capturing the suns heat and
    turning it into energy for powering your home,
    you can even make money back on any surplus
    electricity your panels may generate.

7
  • Energy efficiency is always a smart investment,
    and with the cost of solar panels decreasing with
    every passing year (not to mention government
    incentives and tax breaks), why not make your
    home more energy efficient while doing your bit
    for the planet, too?
