The Energy Efficiency Advice Centre (EEAC) is part of a national network of 52 centres set up by the Energy Saving Trust to help reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The EEAC provides free and impartial advice to households on reducing energy use and bills through energy efficiency measures, grants, and discounts. Common measures like loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, and draught proofing can save households up to £100-150 per year with payback periods of 1-5 years.

7. Low emissivity glazing is now required by building regulations 20% of heat is lost through single glazed windows
8. OLD BOILER HIGH EFFICIENCY CONDENSING BOILER Less than10 % HEAT WASTED 20 – 30 % HEAT WASTED Save up to £100 every year Replace Old Boilers
9. Save £60 of electricity Low Energy Light Bulbs Use 80% less electricity 80% of 100watts = 80watts 80watts for 10,000 hours=800units at 7.5 pence per unit = £60
