How to save money in the home

 
24 September 2010

Brits paying for a bespoke conservatory, pool house or garden studio may be keen to cut back on their monthly bills to help finance the improvements.

However, it has been claimed that investing in another upgrade could be a good way of doing this.

Build It + Home Improvement magazine explained that insulation can be a great way of saving cash.

"I can't stress enough the importance of a properly insulated home. You'll shave money off your heating bills and provide yourself with a more comfortable living environment," explained editor Anna-Marie DeSouza.

Approximately 80 per cent of the UK population have yet to insulate their homes over the past three years, according to figures from thinkinsulation.com.

Ms DeSouza said that it is now more important than ever to lead a sustainable lifestyle and noted that new technology, such as solar, air or ground source energy, has made it "easier than ever before".
