Home Insulation cuts fuel bills

09/02/2010

Ensuring effective home insulation is in place could save householders up to £380 a year on heating bills, according to a leading home improvement website.

Ratedpeople.com reports that there are still 5.5 million properties in the UK classed under the lowest two bands for energy performance.

A home's carbon footprint, however, can be slashed by as much as 907kg every year through good insulation, which would also lower fuel bills.

Ottokar Rosenberger, sales and marketing director of Ratedpeople.com, said: "Without effective insulation, properties can in some cases lose buyer appeal and value.

"Good insulation is essential if homeowners are going to cut the cost of utility bills and with government grants available, it's something that homeowners should consider as an attractive way of saving money easily."

Grants are now available from the government to support householders in improving the efficiency of their home.
