ENERGY EFFICIENCY MEASURES PROVING THEIR WORTH?

Have you been pleased that the energy efficiency measures that you have installed have proved their worth during this cold spell, or is your house draughty and cold?

Are you pleased that the snow remained on your roof for longer than many of your neighbour's, or did your heating bills rise as the warmth escaped to melt the snow?

If you realise that improvements are needed to make your home more energy efficient, the best place to start finding what you need to do, and what grants and offers are available, is the Energy Savings Trust website.

There is information about:

>Grants and offers for home improvements;

>Generating your own energy.

Some grants may have temporarily run out, as it is towards the end of the financial year, but that is no excuse for not finding out the options now, whilst keeping warm is a high priority for you.

The Energy Savings Trust will advise you about joining a waiting list, or waiting for new, better offers.

Enjoy the cheaper warmth of your energy efficient home, or make sure that you will have an energy efficient home at the first opportunity.
