Under the Home Energy Conservation Act, Allerdale Borough Council has responsibility for promoting and offering advice upon energy conservation in domestic residential property. Measures to save energy and reduce fuel bills can range from energy saving light bulbs to new central heating boilers and improved wall and loft insulation. Simply by investing in a number of these measures, the average household fuel bill of £500 (based on an uninsulated 3 bedroom semi-detached house) can be reduced by £200!
