Up to 25% of your property's heat could be escaping through the roof, so invest in some loft insulation. The cost for the average family home starts from around â230 which could be subsidised by an energy saving grant, and recouped in just over a year by saving around â200 off the annual heating bill. Topping up existing loft insulation to 270mm is also a good idea.

cost that will help control energy use. One of the most effective
things you can do to save energy and manage your energy costs is to

for a total of $500 over the two tax years. Other measures you can
take that will help earn you the tax credit include updating your
windows and installing energy efficient heating and cooling
equipment. The IRS is currently working on the final rules for this
credit, but updated information is available at
