subject: Uk Energy Bills Set To Rise, Again! [print this page] Anyone hopeful that energy bills will reduce over the coming months and years had better think again as industry regulator Ofgem has announced that energy bills will rise by an average of 11 pounds per year until the start of the next decade.
The rise is being implemented due to Ofgem wanting to upgrade gas and electricity networks across the country as they look to replace dated infrastructure, this is despite the average household energy bill currently standing at more than 1,250 pounds annually.
It is fair to say that the days of cheap household energy have gone and will not be coming back any time soon so it is up to the homeowner to find ways of cutting their energy bills.
But rather than just give into the inevitable, take the initiative and deploy energy efficient measures in your home as they are a proven winner when it comes to cutting the cost of energy bills in the long-term. There are many different ways in which you can make your home more energy efficient and become a dedicated saver of energy.
Anyone having to fork out above and beyond the average cost of an energy bill first of all needs to be made aware of heat loss. Heat loss in the home is the chief reason why large numbers of families need to pay out a fortune on energy bills as when heat is lost from a property the natural instinct is to try and overcome it by turning up the heating system.
Heat loss can occur in many different ways and in many different areas of the home. Ageing windows and doors are often one of the main sources of heat loss, whilst heat can also be lost through ceilings, floors and walls. Correctly identifying heat loss is the key towards making a home energy efficient.
Wherever the main source of heat loss is make sure that you purchase and install the right product to prevent energy bills from ever getting out of hand again, whether this means buying new doors and windows or insulation.
The money saved will become noticeable almost from the moment you have installed the right form of product and will give you more money to spend on improving other areas of your home.
