Confused between wood burning stoves & underfloor heating?

61
Feet in front of fire

Wood burning stoves or underfloor heating? To solve this mystery I waded through reams of information and spoke to tons of installers. But, does it need to be so confusing, and can it save you money?

£8.4bn price tag for failing energy efficiency schemes

35
insulation

£8.4bn – that’s the estimate of how much we’ve spent on successive government’s energy efficiency policies. And yet the majority of Britain’s homes still don’t have adequate insulation. It’s time something was done.

Customers let down by cancelled insulation installations

Thousands of energy customers had their free insulation installations cancelled at the last minute after the Carbon Emissions Reduction Target scheme came to an end. Were you affected by the cancellations?

Do you know what your energy bills pay for?

Blue light bulb

I’m sure you’ll have heard about the latest announcement from British Gas today. The company posted an 11% rise in profits on its residential supply business. But I’m not here to bash British Gas for making money…

Have you been mis-sold green home improvements?

343
Drawing of a home with energy efficiency ratings

With the temperature set to dip from unseasonable highs earlier this week to more typical teeth-chattering January temperatures, the Office of Fair Trading’s report into the energy efficiency industry is timely.

Eco scheme – will it really help those in fuel poverty?

14

The government’s Green Deal has been hogging the limelight, but just as important is the recent consultation on the Energy Company Obligation (ECO). Is this scheme really going to help people in fuel poverty?

The Green Deal’s ‘golden rule’ has lost its shine

19
Green house

Yesterday the government unveiled the details of its flagship energy efficiency initiative, the Green Deal. Sadly, its crucial ‘golden rule’ means that joining the scheme may not work out to be such a good deal after all.

Free insulation offers – is there a catch?

63
insulation

With temperatures dropping, most of us have started turning the heat up. But half of that heat could be escaping through your home’s walls and roof. Energy suppliers are offering free insulation – so what’s the catch?

Chancellor – give back extra VAT to help tackle fuel poverty

46
George Osborne conference speech

We’re asking George Osborne to pay back the extra £200m VAT revenue gained from energy price hikes. With crucial schemes like Warm Front set to close, wouldn’t this money help those struggling this winter?

Tailor energy efficiency advice to individual homes

36
Different coloured houses

I’d welcome a visit from a friendly (and free) home energy assessor if I got some sound advice on making it more energy efficient. But do these schemes manage to deliver practical, tailored help for everybody?

Should your landlord pay for energy efficiency?

8
Broken windows

New plans in the government’s Energy Bill mean landlords could be forced to renovate the least energy-efficient homes. Surely great news for tenants, but will it mean there are fewer rental properties on the market?

What happens after a Which? investigation?

0
Lots of arrows

If you think our work finishes when a report is published then you’re likely to be wrong. It often goes on, and on, and on… as our recent investigation into cavity wall insulation proves.

Getting loft insulation is at the top of my to-do list

33
Loft insulation

Everyone knows loft insulation can make your home more energy efficient and save you money. But did you know there’s a government scheme set to expire soon, and will you plug those drafts before it’s too late?

Grow up big companies, stop blaming subcontractors

3
Kids fighting in field

When will big companies stop blaming all their problems on subcontractors? Whether its useless ID theft insurance, or bad wall insulation advice, shouldn’t most of the onus be on the big companies?
