Homeowners to adopt insulation measure to save on rising utility bills
Thinkinsulation.com is urging home owners to urgently review the energy saving measures in their home according to an announcement from energy provider, E.ON, that gas bills will increase by an average of by 18.1% and electricity prices by 11.4%, with effect from 13th September 2011. The news that the fourth of the major suppliers has increased its fuel prices for a second time this year has highlighted that homeowners must act now to prevent sky high energy bills.
This price increase from one of the UK’s leading energy firms will see the average dual fuel annual bill rise by 15.2% up to an average £1,293 from £1,123. With the remaining energy providers predicted to follow suit, homeowners need to take all precautions necessary to ensure that energy bills are kept to a minimum this winter.
Lydia Sharples from thinkinsulation.com comments: “Price hikes are a stark reality and it’s no wonder that homeowners are concerned after the rises earlier this year. Although we have no control over the strength of the gas market or the price of fuel in the UK, there are changes that all homeowners can make to counter increased energy prices.”
She points out: “Ensuring your property is comprehensively insulated is one way to reduce heat loss – a simple job such as insulating a loft to the correct standards will dramatically reduce energy consumption and can save you around £145 per year on energy bills. Furthermore insulating your walls can save you as much as £385 on your annual fuel bills.”

It’s probably a fact of life that rising utility prices should encourage us to save energy?
