Start small; energy saving light bulbs use up to 80% less electricity than standard bulbs and because they last 10 times longer, they will save you anything from £3-£6 per year, so around £45 over the lifetime of the bulb.

This summer British Gas is making it easier for you to go green. Boilers account for 60% of the total CO2 emissions we as individuals produce.

We moan about the government not doing enough to tackle climate change, but we as individuals contribute around 40% to the UKs total greenhouse gas emissions, so if we make some small changes around the home and to how we travel, we can reduce our carbon footprint along with our energy bills.

In December this year, Copenhagen will host the UN Conference on Climate Change.

Central heating isn’t exactly an inspiring conversation choice. Nobody even likes thinking about their bills other than to wish for them to disappear.

There are five types of combi boiler. These are instantaneous condensing, instantaneous, storage condensing, storage and Combined Primary Storage Units.

There are five types of combi boiler. These are instantaneous condensing, instantaneous, storage condensing, storage and Combined Primary Storage Units.

In the UK, the most common type of boiler in use is the combination, or combi boiler.

There are a number of easy steps that you can take to reduce your household energy bills, without having to break the bank.

With natural gas becoming an increasingly rare, and therefore expensive, resource, energy efficiency is becoming an increasingly important issue for many households.

A boiler should receive a safety check and service from a qualified, CORGI or OFTEC registered technician on an annual basis.

There are plenty of things that you can do cut your energy usage around the home, that won't necessarily break the bank, and could lower the cost of your energy bills by quite some margin.

Deals where a single energy company supplies you with both gas and electricity are often referred to as being 'dual fuel' deals.

If you’re worried about climate change what can you do to help? Rather than being sourced from coal, oil and gas, green energy ensures that the electricity you use is sourced from renewable sources.

Today almost two thirds of all of the energy supplied to the UK comes from climate-damaging, and finite, sources such as coal and gas burning, while the remaining third comes from nuclear power. Nuclear power is much-criticized for its inefficiency and toxic waste products.

The Gas Safe register is a new register that all qualified gas engineers must now sign up to so that you, the consumer, can more easily check up on your chosen engineer's qualifications.

We're all looking for ways to save these days, especially when it comes t utilities.

Now that the earth’s once seemingly limitless supply of fossil fuels such as natural gas and crude oil is becoming increasingly limited, it has become imperative that everybody takes steps to reduce their energy use.

We think of electricity in terms of power stations, lightbulbs and all of our electrical appliances, but electricity is an age old force with electrons flowing all around us creating lightning bolts and static electricity too.

There is plenty of talk around at the moment, particularly in the media, about the clean, endless supply of energy that can be obtained from solar, wind, and wave power.

We may not be able to control oil and gas prices, but we can certainly affect the energy efficiency of our homes, having a knock-on effect on our gas bills.

CO is produced when gas is burned without a sufficient amount of oxygen present. This state of affairs can be induced by an incorrectly installed, or poorly maintained, gas burning appliance.

It is vital that you get all your gas appliances checked, and if necessary, serviced at least once a year by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

Although propane and natural gas based barbeques are less popular in the UK than charcoal grills, no doubt due to the fact that they are a lot more expensive, they do have a number of advantages over the more traditional charcoal model.

With the increasing interest in gourmet cookery, fuelled by the proliferation of television cookery shows imploring people to spend more and more on expensive ingredients and fancy kitchens, gas cookers have rocketed in popularity.

There are a huge variety of gas cookers on the market these days, varying in design from the ultra modern, to the retro vintage look.

One of the quickest and easiest ways in which you can save money on your household fuel bills is to switch energy suppliers.
