Energy Efficiency Information
Warmer Worcestershire
 |
Is your home losing heat? A typical British home, loses
one third of the heat produced by central heating systems through
the roof, walls and windows. This means that £1 in every £3 spent
on heating is wasted.
The Warmer Worcestershire
website features a thermal map showing the energy efficiency
rating of every house in the county. Enter your postcode to find
out how much heat your home is losing! |
The good news is it’s easy to make improvements that will reduce
your bills - see below for information about schemes which could
help.

Cut price insulation for all
 |
Everyone is entitled to cut price insulation, whatever their
age or income. Exact prices vary but are up to 50% less than the
usual rate. These are subsidised by energy companies, as required
by government.
Call Act on Energy on 0800 988 2881
for details. |
Switch It Off
 |
Cut your electricity bills by switching off unused lights and
appliances. Don’t just leave things on standby- they still use
energy.
Other simple actions, such as only boiling the water you need
instead of filling the kettle and hanging washing to dry outside,
can also help you save £££s! |
