These are 4 heat saving options that could save you a fortune on your bills.

1. 10% of all heat lost from a house can be through windows. This can be halved by adequate draught proofing and double glazing.

2. 25% of heat can be lost through the roof of a home. This can be dramatically reduced by properly insulating the loft space.

3. 35% of heat can be lost through walls. Cavity wall insulation can cut this down to 10%.

4. Draught proofing external doors can reduce heat loss down from 15% to 9%.
