Energy efficiency regarded as safer investment in the UK

Improving the UK's energy efficiency is considered to be the most low-risk investment, and the most reliable way to reduce the UK's carbon emissions in the future, the 2015 Energy Barometer report from the Energy Institute (EI), the professional body for the UK energy industry, has been able to reveal.

More than 60 per cent of respondents said energy efficiency technology has the greatest potential to make a cost-effective contribution to the UK's decarbonisation targets by 2030, without the need for subsidies.

The results represent a boost for energy efficiency campaigners, who have argued more money should be assigned to improving domestic energy efficiency, as it represents one of the most cost effective means of curbing emissions. However, the government has to date rejected calls to make energy efficiency a national infrastructure priority and assign increased funding to energy efficiency programme.

HeatingSave helps you slash your energy bills

Replacing your central heating clock with a HeatingSave energy and boiler management controller is the quickest way of beating those tariff rises and saving on energy costs, often paying for itself in less than a year but almost always in less than 3 years.

HeatingSave can cut your energy usage by 20% to 30% with its energy management control, as its internal microprocessor constantly calculates and improves the efficiency and savings of your central heating system.

Using HeatingSave, simply choose the room temperature and the hot water you want, and when, and HeatingSave does the rest. It works with all central heating systems — oil, gas or coal — and links up with a PC to produce reports and graphs to fashion a powerful and complete energy management system.

The system is backed by the Carbon Trust and the Energy Savings Trust.
