Increasing energy bills are a constant worry for most households and many of us are switching providers to get the best deal. However, saving money can start in the home by preventing heat-loss through your walls, roof and floors.

Fortunately, there has never been a better time to assess your property and understand where heat is lost, with government-backed energy efficiency schemes available.

The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is an obligation placed by the government, on the energy companies, to provide funding for energy efficiency measures, to tackle fuel poverty, reduce carbon emissions and to save money on householder’s energy bills.
