Saving energy, like recycling waste, is one of those good habits which people acquire, but all too often lose. We tend to get our lofts insulated and turn off electrical appliances we are not using, then fall back into our bad old ways – and end up with inflated energy bills.
It should not be too difficult to keep your bills down. Most energy-saving measures are common sense. But it is worth reminding yourself from time to time of the basic principles of energy conservation – and how you can apply them in your home.
There are also implications for landlords, says Tanya Blake, Head of Savills Country Lettings. “From April 2018, Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) for domestic residences will be introduced, meaning that landlords must ensure that any new tenancies or renewals come with an energy efficiency rating of E or above.”
