News emerges that more people than ever before will face financial pressures in the wake of increasing fuel bills, the call for household energy efficiency measures have never been greater.

With an average energy bill set to climb over £1400 in 2009 (from under £690 in 2005), the Government has given a commitment to help consumers improve household energy efficiency and permanently bring down energy bills.

As the nation waits for confirmation of where Government support will be given, many organisations are offering advice and guidance into where and how families can make changes that will cut their household energy costs.

Figures from the Energy Savings Trust suggest that if everyone undertook a number of simple measures including:

Fitting energy saving light bulbs, double glazed windows, installing a condensing boiler, cavity wall and loft insulation and jackets for hot water tanks, UK households could reduce energy bills by over £270 a year and save over £1.9bn in fuel costs.

Mid Wales representative said: ‘It is increasingly becoming apparent that current fuel price increases are set to have dramatic effects on many people’s household bills.

‘But making energy efficient changes, ahead of the winter months, could lead to savings of thousand’s of pound on future fuel bills – as well as adding to a house’s value. If people are considering making improvements we would urge them to look at the most energy efficient options.

‘Installing double glazing for example, cuts heat lost through windows by half. At Mid Wales Windows we fit the very latest energy saving PVC double glazing, which offers potential savings of over £110 per year per household’.
