Just haphazardly turning up the heating to feel warm indoors is never a good idea. Not only is this a waste of precious energy, it also costs a pretty penny. Properly insulating your home is the sensible first step to keeping your energy bills in check. Here are some top tips.
Doors and windows are where most of the cold creeps into the house. High yield double glazing is no longer an idle luxury but a must if you mean to insulate your home properly. Double glazing is the bare minimum, as even triple glazing is now available these days.
Heat rises, which means all this precious heat simply vanishes through a poorly insulated roof. If you have a large unused attic, be sure to insulate that as well, and do not forget the floorboards! Otherwise you will find yourself heating that large unused space along with the rest of your home. This would be a waste of energy – and money.
Planning to put in insulation in your home? The government is happy to give you a financial leg up. Check out www.gov.uk/energy-grants-calculator to find out which grants you are entitled to and save on the investment outlays for high quality insulation materials.
Bearing in mind the pointers listed above is certain to bring your home insulation plans to a favourable conclusion. However, if you want to take things a step further, go for energy-efficient radiators. Take a look at the Vasco range and be swept off your feet by the winning combination of energy conservation and sleek design.
