The Benefits of Energy Efficiency

Becoming more energy efficient can help both you and the environment.

Because being energy efficient reduces the amount of natural resources used,  it means that the cost of running your household heating and water is reduced. It also helps lessen the affect of climate change by dramatically reducing the amounts of CO₂ emissions.

Here are just a few more reasons to be more energy efficient.

• Home energy use is responsible for more than a quarter of the total UK CO₂ emissions.
• When used at home, one unit of electricity is typically responsible for the release of over twice as much CO₂ as one unit of gas.
• Cutting energy use – especially electricity – saves money and helps to protect the Earth’s limited resources of fossil fuels.
