In the UK the government has announced a new energy package worth nearly 1 billion pounds. Basically, money is availible for your energy bills and energy-saving home improvements.

You can get as much as 50% off the cost of insulation. This includes loft insulation as well as cavity-wall insulation. Of course you can not forget about low energy lightbulbs, real time displays, energy superplugs and some others.

There are also free things for low income households and pensioners.

They may qualify for free loft and cavity-wall insulation, Hot-water tank insulation, pipe insulation and draft proofing. Better yet some may get a free central-heating system or have their existing one repaired for free.

Most if not all the improvements must go through the Government's Warm Front scheme.

If homeowners where to take advantage of the Government problem, they would start to save money almost immediately. You would be amazed at how much money "literally" goes out the window when you have drafts and the walls are not properly insulation. So don't waste time and cal, the local government for more information. More reading can be found at Palonek
