A recent survey carried out by moneysupermarket.com, has revealed 7 in 10 consumers are worried about the cost of turning on their boiler this winter and 28% of households are struggling to pay their bills.
Much of this concern has arisen since the severe increase in fuel prices from some energy suppliers earlier this month. With the prediction of a cold winter simply staying warm is of great concern to many.
Scott Byrom, Energy Manager at moneysupermarket.com expressed his concerns last week "Recent price increases could not have come at a worse time for cash strapped consumers".
All homeowners are being encouraged to carry out simple, free and low cost measures to reduce their energy consumption. Closing curtains when it gets dark, turning down the thermostat 1c and ensuring all appliances are not left on standby can dramatically save energy and reduce bills. In addition, ensuring your loft insulation is topped up to the recommended 270mm and cavity walls are fully insulated will ensure your home stays warm this winter.
Action Woking can arrange for your loft insulation to be topped up or cavity walls to be insulated for as little as £129 each. Give Action Woking a call today to see how you can reduce your energy bills, and stay warm this winter.
