We all want to try and save some money here and there, especially on the more mundane things in life, which is why improving your home’s energy efficiency is a great investment to make. There are a number of ways to make your home more efficient, and all of which will require a little influx of cash, however, over time, you’ll make a return on your investment whilst also reducing your carbon footprint.
Install a New Boiler
If you’ve got an old and tired boiler, your very first step to making your home more energy efficient should certainly be to install a new one. Modern boilers are always far better at conserving energy and can save you literally hundreds of pounds a year on your bills. By upgrading from an old G-rated boiler, you can save up to £300 per year as modern boilers now typically operate at over 90% efficiency.
Improve Your Insulation
The majority of heat which leaves your home does so through the roof, walls and floor, which is why improving the insulation in your home can significantly improve its efficiency. By reducing the amount of heat that leaves the property, you’ll also reduce your reliance on your heating system which will save you money and also help to save the planet. Investing in good insulation can also help to improve the value of your home, as potential homebuyers will know they won’t have to do it themselves.
Update Your Windows and Doors
Finally, upgrading your old windows and doors will also keep the warm air in your home. By upgrading to double glazing and uPVC style windows, you’ll be able to hugely improve your efficiency as well as reduce the noise from outside. Installing these windows can save you money and uPVC lasts decades so they won’t need replacing any time soon.
