Save energy in your home

Eight leading companies have got together to show UK home owners that there are things ordinary folk can do to stop the onset of climate change.

Tony Blair, the UK prime minister, said that its important for firms to show leadership on this issue because we are all in this together.

The carbon emissions produced by households and individuals account for about half of the UK''s total emissions. Therefore cutting them can make a huge difference.

One way for home owners to take action is to insulate their homes because a typical way for your home to loose energy is through its walls and loft.

Install cavity wall and loft insulation and pair it with some tank and pipe insulation, draught proofing and energy saving glazing for maximum effect.

Using a high efficiency condensing boiler with heat controls can save you money and help the environment because it recovers the heat which would usually go up the flue of a non-condensing heater.
