As we prepare for a cold winter ahead, here are some simple ways to reduce your energy bills.
Install solar panels
Solar panels can reduce your energy costs. Installing the panels is expensive, but you will make your money back with lower energy bills. Batteries store electricity so it does not go to waste.
With this in mind it is important to make sure all your electrical appliances within your home are all working well. Find out more about Solar Panels by visiting gsmlimited.com/services/solar-panels/
Get a low cost energy loan
The government’s Green Homes Grant provides low-cost loans to consumers for energy efficiency measures at home. The Green Deal Financing Company offers loans for boilers, insulation and draught improvements.
Installing a new boiler
A boiler that is efficient will help you save money on your electricity bills. It is necessary to replace boilers that are old or do not function properly. According to the Energy Saving Trust, a semi-detached home will save approximately £200 per year by installing a new boiler.
You may also be eligible for a free boiler installation and replacement depending on your situation. You can check your eligibility by visiting the websites of major energy suppliers.
Interest on your account
You may be able to earn interest on your surplus. Ovo, for example, pays three percent interest. This is a great way to get your money back. Customers who pay via direct debit can benefit from the Ovo Customer Reward Scheme.
Home improvement ideas for free
Home improvements may be provided for free to the elderly, disabled and people with disabilities. The Home Improvement Agency’s website provides information about the eligibility requirements and services offered. Also, there are discounts on energy-efficient products.
