Did you know that around 21% of the UK’s carbon emissions come from our homes?

These emissions come from heating or cooling properties, generating hot water and powering appliances. There's no better time to make savvy changes than at the start of a new year.

Join us during Big Energy Saving Week (17-23 January 2024) and discover how small changes in the home can lead to big savings.

From advice on how to keep the heat in and make best use of your boiler to improving insulation, find out how you can save up to £445 a year by making sustainable changes in your home.

Find out about the small changes you can do to make your home shine here:



Smart meters put you in control of your energy use, can help save money on your energy bills and offset price increases.

They also help reduce our reliance on imported fossil fuels and underpin the transition to a greener, more reliable energy system.


Energy saving LED lightbulbs use 90% less energy than traditional bulbs, which means in a few months, LED lightbulbs can pay for themselves through their energy saving quality.


Turning off your light when you leave a room will save you even more money and energy!


If you are struggling with high energy costs, visit:

You can find different energy efficiency and upgrade schemes as well as financial support that you may qualify for.




Every degree you lower your thermostat by could lower your heating bill by £100 a year.

If you are warm enough, try turning down your thermostat by one degree. The lowest comfortable temperature for most people is 18°C.

Apply for government grant funding to upgrade your boiler to save up to 70% on your carbon emissions!


With the government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme, you can get up to £7,500 off the cost of a heat pump installation for your property in England and Wales. Apply for the boiler upgrade scheme today.





Retrofit your home! Fabric first retrofit, including insulation and glazing, prioritizes the building’s insulation, windows, and orientation over the technology used to heat it. This approach involves reducing draughts, optimizing orientation and design to capture as much of the sun’s heat as possible, and putting in good windows. Benefits include improving energy efficiency, reducing heating bills, creating a healthy living environment, and it lasts for hundreds of years with no running costs.


By implementing these changes, you’ll not only stay warm and save money but also contribute to a greener, more sustainable future and help in our journey to become a net zero carbon borough by 2042.
