Home energy efficiency is about using less energy to keep your home warm and electrical appliances running. An energy efficient home will be warmer and have lower gas and electric bills than an energy inefficient home.
There are small ways in which you can make your home more energy efficient and lower your bills, such as draughtproofing your doors, running your laundry at a lower temperature, or cooking small meals with air fryer instead of an oven. More household energy efficiency tips are available from Wirral-based charity Energy Projects Plus' website:
We provide more information within this section of the website about understanding how energy efficient your home is and what works can be done to improve your home’s energy efficiency. There are two ways home works can improve the energy efficiency of your home:
- through reducing home heat loss
- generating energy more efficiently
The cost of home works may be supported by government funding, depending on your specific situation.
