How to increase existing energy efficiency, EPC recommendations explained.

To save energy follow these handy tips:

1. Always switch 'off' appliances when not in use; if you leave an appliance on 'stand-by' it will still use electricity!

2. Any radiators fitted with Thermostatic Radiator Valves should be adjusted to the correct setting according to room usage.

3. Draught proofing can help a lot in saving heat during winter, if you have a draught coming in its always good to fix it.

4. Use energy saving where possible.

5. After an EPC follow the 'recommendations' if possible. The EPC will have explained the effect each change will have on the overall energy efficiency of the property.
