DIY work can also make properties energy efficient.People looking to increase the value of their property while also making it energy efficient have been told that home improvement is the way to go.A guide written for Smart-Grid.tmcnet.com stated that installing products such as insulation can help homeowners save up to 20 per cent on their energy bills."Insulation creates an effective barrier and resists flow of heat; as a result the house remains warm during winters and cool during summers. Consequently, you can turn down the thermostat by a few degrees and save on electricity bills," it stated.The guide went on to say that when choosing an insulation product, its quality and effectiveness is a better judging criteria than its cost, while it should also be fitted by a trusted professional.Furthermore, according to the British Fenestration Rating Council, poorly insulated windows are the single biggest contributor to loss of warmth in a home, with cheap double glazing helping to fix this.Posted by Glenn Derbyshire
