| Poor insulation and inefficient appliances are massive contributors to eye watering energy bills. |
| |
| The Energy Doctor wants you to maximise your homes efficiency because when you do you’ll help save the planet and save yourself a fortune into the bargain. |
| |
| How do I know if my home is inefficient? |
| A full site survey will be undertaken and a provisional energy efficiency rating will be issued. |
| |
| This document is called an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) and is the industry standard for measuring a properties efficiency. |
| |
| Once the EPC is undertaken a series of measures to improve your properties rating will be made. |
| |
| What kind of measures will improve my rating? |
| Installation of loft insulation and cavity wall insulation because 25% of heat is lost through the roof and 35% through the walls.
Installation of both types of insulation could save you up to £380 per year. |
| |
 |
| |
| There are numerous grants available for this. The Energy Doctor will get you the best possible one and subject to eligibility you may even be able to get one FREE. |
| |
| Condensing boilers are much more efficient than older types and they can massively improve your homes efficiency. Replacing a 15 year old boiler could save you 20% on your existing fuel bills. |
| |
 |
| |
| Condensing boilers work by recovering the waste heat which would normally go up the flue and also by utilising a much larger heat exchanger. These boilers can be fitted to virtually any existing system and in the long run constitute a significant ongoing saving. |
| |
| Energy saving light bulbs can last up to 10 times longer than ordinary bulbs. They work by using less electricity but give the same light output as other bulbs. |
| |
 |
| |
| They can save between £5 to £10 per bulb per year depending upon usage. |
| |
| Make your property carbon neutral by utilising free energy from the sun and wind. Installation of wind turbines and solar panels by us would save you money and make your home much greener. |
