If you’ve just purchased your first property, or simply want to make the most of the space you have, here are some tips for you.
Add insulation
Most of us know that insulating our loft can help to keep our energy costs down – as this is where most of household heat is lost. But it doesn’t stop there – insulating your pipes, tanks and floor could help you cut your bills even further.
Upgrade your boiler
An efficient boiler can make a big difference to the amount you spend on heating and hot water – according to Energy Saving Trust4, it could be hundreds.
Buy double glazing
From reducing noise pollution to retaining heat, adding energy-efficient double glazing windows is a great way to save energy (and money on your bills).
Use technology
You can reduce your carbon footprint whilst lowering your utility bills with various tips from experts like EcoVision Energy4.

This depends on how much you owe on your mortgage and on your personal circumstances. It’s best to talk to us about this, so we can help you decide which option works best for you.
It’s all down to your personal circumstances and what suits you best. You could consider a personal loan, or consolidating your debt. Or you could save up and pay for it when you have enough money.
All loans are subject to your financial circumstances and borrowing history at the time you apply.
