Thanks for sharing all these insulation tips. Only insulating the attic, and not the floors over a basement or crawlspace, walls, and windows, is one of the most common mistakes people make when trying to save energy around the house.

We love these tips because most of them are so cheap and simple. And special thanks for mentioning pipe insulation.
Speaking of pipes, start by insulating pipes that are located along exterior walls or in unheated areas like basements, crawl spaces, and attics. These pipes are most vulnerable to freezing.

My loft is insulated but I don’t want to have any more as I’d be too hot, I don’t feel the cold thankfully.

Some great tips, but you didn’t mention the benefits of reflective backing on the wall behind the radiator. we coupled it with a radiator cabinet and have seen some great savings, as well as the effect of a warmer living room and the ability to turn off the radiator earlier. We would recommend the company we went through classicradiatorcabinets./ as we were pleased with the service we received

In reply to Rob Edwards. I couldn't agree more. Had my doors, windows, tudor board, facias etc replaced by Radcliffe Windows a DGCOS member. An excellent job, with complete consumer protection. Even if Radcliffe go out of business there is a compensation fund available through DGCOS to rectify any faults for the next 10 years. I don't know any other organisation who offers this in the home improvement sector.

While it’s important the double glazing installer you choose is Fensa registered there are similar bodies less well known but just as valid i.e Certass, BM Trada. However, none of these bodies provide significant consumer protection and my advice would be to choose an installer who is a member of either DGCOS (visit their web-site dgcos., fronted by Nick Ross)or they belong to Network Veka. Their consumer protection covers all situations and it’s free to the consumer.

The consumer protection offered is head and shoulders above anything else available in this sector (check it out for yourselves).

In reply to ee jay bee. Hey bud, in which UK country do you reside as it could be due to the area you are in having poorly trained staff, not trying to stick up for SIG/Miller Patterson just trying to find facts.

excellent site found through The express paper but think out of date comments need to be removed.Feedbacks made in 2009 seem of little use.
