Energy Efficiency

Warmer Worcestershire

Is your home losing heat? In a typical British home, one third of heat produced by central heating systems is lost through the roof, walls and windows.

For a poorly insulated property, this means that £1 in every £3 spend on heating is wasted.

The good news is it's easy to make improvements that will reduce your bills.

We are involved in the Warmer Worcestershire Project which is aimed at reducing carbon emissions in the county and helping residents improve the energy efficiency of their homes
