Home Energy Savings

Increasing energy efficiency means reducing the amount of energy that is lost or wasted; this can reduce fuel bills and help prevent environmental pollution. Heat energy can be lost through the roof, walls, windows or doors of your house. By insulating your property your house will be warmer and you will need to use your central heating less often.

Reducing the amount of energy that is lost or wasted can also be achieved by reducing the amount of electricity used. This can be as simple as making sure unused lights or appliances are turned off.

Heat energy can be lost through the roof, walls, windows or doors of your house.

Save energy by insulating your walls and roof. Make sure your doors and windows are draft proof.

Hart Council actively promotes energy efficiency. There are various schemes, grants and discounts available to residents within the Hart District to improve energy efficiency in the home, some of which are listed below. The benefits of energy efficiency can be significant and may include reduced fuel bills as well as the environmental benefits of reducing fuel consumption.
