Saving Energy In Your Home has a vast amount of valuable resources when it comes to saving money through saving energy in your home. The site was set up last year to help and inform the residents of the UK to combat rising energy costs. It is our aim is to keep the general public informed on all aspects of energy efficiency using the best information available. Saving Energy In Your Home is separated into eight categories for easy navigation, these sections include :

The Environment, Recycling, Heating Systems, Renewable Energy, Home Insulation, Governments Grants, Energy Efficient Lighting and Water Saving. We also have many Articles and a number of Calculators on our tools page to help you figure out how much money and energy you could save when implementing our advice.

Environment

In the UK, the government has signed the Kyoto protocol pledging to cut emissions by 80% on 1990 levels by the year 2050. Electricity generation accounts for around 30% of UK CO² emissions. In the next decade, many coal and nuclear plants will close, leaving the UK increasingly dependent on imported gas.

Recycling

Recycling is an excellent way to save taking new raw materials from the earth, which in turn reduces energy usage, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and stops water pollution by reducing the need for waste disposal in landfill sites.

Heating

The latest energy efficient boilers save you energy and money, and the right controls use as little energy as possible. Solar water heating systems, Wood-fuelled heating systems, heat pumps can produce all of the heating and hot water needs of your home. Micro combined Heat and Power generates heat, and electricity at the same time which can be used in your home or exported to the national grid.

Renewables

Generating your own energy is good for the environment and good for your pocket too. Low-carbon technologies such as wind turbines, solar panels and Hydro use renewable sources of energy, so you use less fossil fuel, which reduces your carbon footprint as well as your fuel bills.

Insulation

Having adequate insulation will help to keep your home warm in the winter and cooler in the summer. An energy efficient home puts less stress on heating equipment and more importantly brings down fuel bills. Draught Proofing your loft space, Floor, loft and wall insulation are great cost-effective measures you can make in order to save energy in your home.

Grants

Check out grants, offers and discounts to help you pay for energy-saving measures at home. These schemes help you save money, and ways to cut your energy bills.

Lighting

Replacing your old incandescent lamps with compact fluorescent lights is the best way to save energy on lighting in the average home. See our comprehensive guide to saving energy with lighting.

Water

About 70 percent of the water we use inside our homes is used in the bathroom, there are so many ways you can help preserve the Earth's most precious resource. You could even drill a Bore Hole for your own supply.

The Most Powerful and Most Efficient Way To Generate Natural Clean Electricity Was Discovered In 1901! But When “BIG ENERGY” Realised They Couldn’t Meter It And Charge YOU For It! They Buried The Discovery And Had The Government Label It As “CLASSIFIED”
