Want to reduce your energy bills? Discover 5 smart and budget-friendly energy efficiency tips to improve your property without breaking the bank.
Keeping your property warm while lowering energy bills is a top priority for homeowners and landlords alike. In this post, we’ll explore five budget-friendly energy efficiency improvements that can make a real difference—without costing the earth.
1. Install a Smart Thermostat to Reduce Energy Waste
A smart thermostat helps control your heating more effectively. You can schedule heating based on your lifestyle and avoid heating empty rooms. Many models learn your habits over time and help cut unnecessary energy use—leading to noticeable savings.
2. Draught-Proof Doors and Windows
One of the simplest and cheapest ways to improve energy efficiency is draught-proofing. Use self-adhesive strips or sealant around windows and doors to prevent heat from escaping. Don’t forget letterboxes, keyholes and unused chimneys!
3. Add Radiator Reflectors to Stop Heat Loss
Radiator reflector panels are low-cost and easy to install. They reflect heat back into the room instead of letting it escape through external walls. This small fix can boost your home’s warmth without touching the thermostat.
4. Upgrade Loft Insulation Without Overspending
Many homes already have loft insulation, but it may not be thick enough. Topping up your insulation to the recommended 270mm can greatly reduce heat loss through the roof. It’s a smart investment that pays for itself over time.
5. Use Government Schemes for Affordable Upgrades
You may be eligible for financial help through the UK’s ECO scheme or local council grants. These can cover part—or all—of the cost for insulation and other improvements. We can help you check your eligibility and apply.
