29% of energy use in UK is in our homes.  80% is used to heat our homes and water, which is mostly provided by gas, and the other 20% is used for electrical appliances.

The main ways we can reduce our heating energy use:

• Install a more efficient boiler such as a combi boiler which does not require a water tank can reduce consumption by 8.3% (add tank insulation if a water tank is used)
• Improve home insulation
  • cavity wall insulation can reduce consumption by 8.4%
  • solid wall insulation can reduce consumption by 16%  (for homes without wall cavities)
  • loft insulation can reduce consumption by 2.1%
  • double glazing

Does your home have these main heating efficiency measures??
