Bristol embarks on ambitious energy saving programme

The local authority in one of the UK’s largest cities has decided to embark on a new endeavour that, when completed, will dramatically improve energy efficiency across all households in the region.

Bristol City Council entered a partnership with Climate Energy following which the latter will visit every property in the city and offer householders an energy efficiency survey.

Properties found to be leaking heat will qualify for incentives to help pay for insulation measures, while householders on lower incomes may also receive help to replace old boilers with new energy efficient models or install renewable technology.

George Ferguson, Mayor of Bristol said: “This is a major move to bring the benefits of energy saving measures to all Bristol citizens. We have teamed up with energy efficiency experts, Climate Energy, to deliver one of the most ambitious programmes in the country. By working systematically across the whole city, door to door over the next four years, we can give the opportunity to every household to benefit from improved health and comfort and lower fuel bills.

“As we approach our year as European Green Capital this a great example of the practical measures we are taking to make the city more sustainable in a way that benefits all residents.”

Bristol aims to become the most sustainable city in the UK and recently won the title of European Green Capital for 2015. A £95 million energy efficiency package was announced earlier this year and the Bristol Green Deal is the latest initiative in that drive to improve the city’s green credentials.

Running the boiler in the most efficient and effective possible manner will help households save 20 to 30%+ on their energy bills, and this is exactly where HeatingSave could put its extensive experience to very good use.

The system is very user-friendly and, depending on specific site conditions, can even help home owners achieve savings of up to 50%.
