You can improve the energy efficiency of your home by increasing the insulation of your property and purchasing energy efficient appliances and heating systems. This doesn’t just benefit the environment, but also offers financial savings to you the householder.
We have a number of grants and subsidised schemes available to home owners and private tenants to improve the energy efficiency of their property.
Almost half of the UK’s carbon dioxide (CO
2) emissions come from energy we use every day, at home, at work and when we travel. To produce that energy we burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas, which produce ‘greenhouse’ gases such as CO
2. This is changing our climate and damaging the environment.
