Home improvers may want to focus more on energy efficiency, following the advice which has been issued by one expert.
Various grants are currently available which might enable people to enhance their properties in the near future, Mark Todd of
energyhelpline.com has suggested.
"The first place that you need to go to [to] become more energy efficient is the Energy Savings Trust [EST] and also to your supplier," recommended Mr Todd, who acts as the director of the website.
He added: "Ask what things they can give you for free."
In particular, those living in older properties might be able to gain access to free energy efficient measures, Mr Todd pointed out.
Homeowners aiming to complement a new set of
panel blinds by thinking about energy efficiency might be interested to note guidance which has been offered by the EST.
Double glazing and insulation are among the measures that could boost the green credentials of people's homes, it suggests.
