Some useful energy saving tips from Bob Donovan

As you may be aware, the Green Loans program has been to changed to provide funding for an extra 600,000 home assessments while the actual interest-free loans component of the program is currently suspended.

The following is a link to Aurora’s website, this will enable you to monitor your power usage and identify appliances with high running costs:

They provide plenty of tips and practical ideas on reducing energy and making your home more sustainable and may prove particularly valuable for you or someone you know were considering renovations or buying a new appliance.
