With people across Wales crossing their fingers for sunshine, homeowners are being urged to be smart this summer and lag their lofts ahead of the cold snap to start saving immediately. According to the Energy Saving Trust, the summer months are the best time of year to insulate our homes. Benefits include keeping houses cool, cash-savings and quicker turnarounds on installation.
AN energy saving plan has been given the go-ahead by councillors in Teignbridge. The 34-point action plan is the district council's contribution to the fight against climate change. The ruling executive approved the Energy and Carbon Reduction Plan 2012-2017. The plan has the dual aim of reducing the council's carbon footprint and saving it money.
In partnership with MERSEYSIDE schools are being urged to go to the top of the class and bag themselves up to Pounds 90,000 of energy-saving kit. In partnership with British Gas Generation Green the ECHO is offering Pounds 45,000 worth of energysaving efficiencies to a school with less than 500 pupils - and a prize worth Pounds 90,000 to a larger school with 500 pupils or more.
THE Energy Saving Trust tells us that 87% of households plan to cut back on their energy usage this winter to try to cut their fuel bills. And with the average annual energy bill now about Pounds 1,300 according to the trust, no one will be surprised that most of us are planning to cut back - especially when we're told that the average bill was Pounds 522 only eight years ago. That's a 155% increase, over a period when average income only rose by 20%.

After two very cold winters - and this one may have started off mild, but is far from over - and rises in energy costs, homeowners have realised that they must take urgent action to stay affordably warm during the colder months. Heating takes up about 45 per cent of energy use in a typical home, so if you can reduce heating costs without losing any comfort, your bank balance will be eternally grateful. Apart from simple and very sensible improvements like draughtproofing and proper insulation, the best improvement that you can make is to invest in a modern low energy heating system. Renewable energy is one of the many "buzz phrases" at this time, and it does make sense to look into the possibilities of different systems on the market.

CONTINUALLY 'greening up' its act is a vitally important 'tough times' sales tool for Lister Trade Frames. With heating bills rocketing - and no sign of slowing - customers are increasingly keen on the window, door and conservatory manufacturer's energy-saving credentials. And that is great for the leading-edge business, employing more than 100 people, at a time when almost anything to do with property is in the doldrums. Managing director Mark Warren, pictured right, said: "We used to encourage installers - our main customers - to explain the environmental and potential cost-saving benefits of our products. "But that is now very much end-customer driven, with homeowners wanting to know more and more about that aspect over the past two years." Recognition of the company's performance ha...
