New Year energy saving resolutions from Power NI
THE New Year has arrived and many local homeowners are feeling the effects of the festivities on their wallets. Leading energy provider Power NI is on hand to offer some practical energy saving advice to make a real difference in 2013.
Power NI has unveiled a simple New Year’s resolution checklist as well as a range of products designed to help slash energy bills for customers across Northern Ireland.
“Customers currently drain away an estimated £28m a year in electricity bills across Northern Ireland and perhaps aren’t as energy aware as they could be,” says Gwyneth Compston, Energy Services Project Manager from Power NI.
“The cold nights and power-sapping standby buttons on televisions and other electrical appliances all add up and can have a huge impact on your pocket.
“Making small changes and following our simple checklist will ensure that you reap the rewards and save money by becoming more energy wise.”
Boiler servicing, insulation and a range of energy saving products are just some of the small steps that are available from Power NI, all of which could significantly reduce your energy bills.
Nearly half of all the heat lost in an average home in Northern Ireland goes out through the roof space and walls. Fitting insulation or topping up your existing insulation is one of the simplest energy saving measures you can think about to help you save money on your energy bills. Insulating your loft could save you up to £150 per year, whilst cavity wall insulation could save you up to £115 each year off your energy bills (source: Energy Saving Trust).
Gwyneth adds: “For a limited time only, you could get a discount of up to £300 off the cost of insulating your home with Power NI. Additionally, smaller actions like turning down thermostats by only one degree could also save around £41 a year on heating costs.”
