Big Energy Week

Last week was ‘Big Energy Week’, an awareness raising opportunity for consumer organisations, energy suppliers and other agencies to promote ways in which we can all save money on our fuel bills. 

I know that many local residents worry about the cost of turning on the heat at home, and I believe the Government should be doing more to keep the cost of energy down, but in the meantime it’s important to know that there are many ways to reduce energy use or find a better deal. 

The major energy suppliers are offering free or discounted loft or cavity wall insulation so it’s worth checking if you are eligible, and you can also find out if you are on the cheapest tariff.  As well as taking small steps at home to save energy, for example by using draught excluders or turning off electrical items when not in use, ‘switching’ websites are available to help you discover if you could be getting a cheaper deal from a different supplier.
