Estimated savings from energy saving improvements

If you are getting poor returns on your investments, why not try energy saving?

One of the biggest savers, cavity wall insulation, is very likely to cost nothing if you are 70 or over.

Energy Saving Trust estimates that simple changes could save most households £300 a year.
