A consumer water body has advised homeowners to consider carrying out DIY work or seek new bathroom quotes to improve their energy efficiency and save money on bills.People could save water and money on bills by carrying out DIY tasks or getting new bathroom quotes to replace damaged plumbing, a consumer body has said.The Consumer Council for Water (CCW) said that around three quarters of household energy consumption relates to heating and hot water, and that simple steps can improve water efficiency in a property.Chair of the CCW Dame Yve Buckland said that something as simple as replacing worn washers on leaky taps could save £18 per year on a water bill.Dame Buckland also suggested adding insulation to a hot water cistern, which could save around £35 annually on heating bills.She added: "Penny pinching does not have to be painful. Taking five minutes to consider very simple water and energy saving tips could pay off in the long run, and have the added benefit of helping to reduce your carbon footprint."Earlier this month, the Ofgem warned homeowners that energy bills could rise as a result of renovating the UK's ageing utility networks.Posted by Glenn Derbyshire
