Toast the Big Freeze with a Warm Home this Winter

Dreams of a white Christmas didn’t materialise for most but the British weather is certainly making up for it now! The big freeze of 2010 is upon us, and as the whole of the UK currently endures snowy blizzards, icy roads and freezing temperatures, the Heat Project is advising all vulnerable householders to make home energy efficiency a top priority.

The grant assisted insulation scheme provider is advising residents to make sure they stay warm and healthy and avoid an unnecessary increased fuel spend this winter, a spend which would otherwise be inevitable for the majority of households as the UK rides through this bitterly cold spell.

Many homes were subjected to a frosty prelude before Christmas but now the full force of a cold British winter can be felt as we kick-start the New Year, and the Heat Project is appealing to homeowners to be prepared for colder times to come, in particular, encouraging them to insulate. Discounted loft and cavity wall insulation can together bring annual savings of up to £365 in fuel bills, offering a little light relief from winter and post-Christmas blues as well as a reduced necessity to tighten those purse strings following Christmas extravagance and a January sale spending spree.

In addition, the resultant reduction in carbon emissions makes a valuable contribution to the UK’s effort to help curb climate change, a global issue that remains the responsibility of us all, and will need to become engrained in public attitude if we are to build on the outcomes of the recently held Copenhagen Climate Change Conference.    

Many will question the validity of the ‘global warming’ concept when faced with such freezing conditions, however the Heat Project warns that the world’s climate shouldn’t be viewed in isolation according to localised weather; in fact country’s such as Greece are currently experiencing significantly higher temperatures than normal. Thus climate change can be argued to be affecting us all already in different extreme ways.
