As energy prices rise, many of us are looking for ways to use less energy at home, but how do we do it? The Energy Price Guarantee set by Government will reduce the unit cost of electricity and gas. A typical household in Great Britain pays, on average, around £2,500 a year on their energy bill. This is set for the next two years, from 1 October 2022.
Let’s see what home investment can save you money this year.
Energy price crisis for homeowners
Even with the Energy Price Guarantee, it is still a lot of money for many of us and not something we can simply absorb into our everyday living costs. So, with the unknown of how long this energy crisis will last, long-term home solutions seem like an excellent option to save money.
We have researched some of the best home improvements you can make to give you a thermally efficient home and reduce those pesky bills down to size for the long run.
