Tackle draughts
Gaps in doors, windows, and even floors allow cold and warm air to enter and exit your home. To avoid this, consider adding draught excluders, proper sealant, insulating strips, or even blankets to act as draught excludes. Seal cracks in floors and skirting boards, line your letterbox and block an unused chimney to save up to £35 per year on your heating bills. If you don't have double glazing, you can save energy and keep more heat in by purchasing plastic lining for your windows.
Insulate your home
If your home is well-insulated, you may save a lot of money on your energy expenses. Did you know that if your roof is not adequately insulated, the bulk of your heating is lost? To avoid this, ensure that the roof, cavity walls, and even solid walls are well insulated. Adding insulation under your flooring can help you save even more money on your energy bills.

Heating and hot water costs consume over half of the money spent on energy bills. By reducing your heating by one degree and you might save up to £80 each year.
