5 Simple + Cost Effective Energy Saving Measures

Rob discusses five simple and cost-effective energy-saving measures that can be implemented in both homes and property portfolios. The measures include changing to LED lighting for energy efficiency, addressing air gaps around doors and windows, upgrading loft insulation to meet building regulations, maintaining radiators by bleeding them and adding reflective sheets, and insulating pipework to reduce energy consumption. Rob focusses on the importance of these measures in improving energy efficiency, reducing bills, and potentially increasing energy performance certificate ratings.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Change over to LED lighting for energy efficiency and longer lifespan. Check for air gaps around doors and windows, and use draft excluders to retain heat. Upgrade loft insulation to meet building regulations and improve heat retention. Bleed radiators and add reflective sheets behind them to increase heat effectiveness. Insulate pipework to prevent freezing, maintain hot water temperature, and reduce overall energy consumption. BEST MOMENTS "You could change your old halogen light bulbs to LED ones. This will help you become more energy efficient because the LED lights use less energy." "Loft insulation might not be applicable to you if you live in a flat, but if you do have a roof area with insulation, check the depth and contact your energy supplier to upgrade it to meet building regulations." "Bleed your radiators, add some foil behind them to reflect heat back into the room. That's quite useful." "Having insulated pipes keeps things warmer for longer, reducing overall energy consumption and helping to reduce bills moving forward."
