Insulate your home

Insulate

The cheapest and most effective way to reduce emissions at home is to get your house insulated. Over three quarters of the energy used in a typical UK home is for water or space heating. In poorly insulated homes a lot of heat escapes through walls, roofs and windows, meaning that it costs you more to keep your home warm. By insulating your home you can make significant savings on your energy bill. Richmond Council is offering discount loft and cavity wall insulation to all residents in the borough and will provide this for free to those in receipt of certain benefits and to those aged 70 or above.
