BE A ‘GOOD CONSUMER’

Younger people generally make more of a fuss about ‘saving the planet’ but many older folk have a ‘waste-not want not’ mentality – and unlike youngsters, they do turn off the immersion!

Another way to knock 10% off bills is turning your heating down by just one degree. There are also plenty of grants worth up to €1,100 for insulation, solar panels, heating controls, and heat pumps,

And pensioners may qualify for The Better Energy Warmer Homes Scheme which will help pay for attic and wall insulation, draught-proofing, lagging jackets and low-energy light bulbs.
