As can be seen from the picture, quite a small amount of heat is lost through the windows. This means double glazing is not the most cost effective way of saving energy.
Heat lost from a typical uninsulated house
Discounts on loft and cavity wall insulation are available to ALL local residents who own their homes or rent privately. People receiving income or disability benefits may also be entitled to have insulation and heating improvements carried out without charge.

Grants and discounts for insulation
Calculate where energy is being lost due to heat escaping from your house. The calculator will show the cost of energy lost from each part of your house. It will also tell you how much each area would cost if you installed effective insulation.

Community Heating Schemes can provide low cost heating that has a minimal carbon footprint. CHP is not a renewable technology but will continue to be supported as part of the Low Carbon Buildings Programme.

If your home is not insulated, you are wasting energy. Heat is leaking to the outside through your walls, roof, floor, doors and windows.
New homes are built with high standards of insulation. Older properties may have no insulation. Your loft insulation may have been put in many years ago when standards were much lower. It is well worth adding an extra layer to keep your bills down.
Take steps to reduce heat loss from the roof and walls as this is where most heat escapes. The cost of these insulation measures means you quickly recoup your investment through savings on fuel bills.
