New research conducted by the Energy Saving Trust has revealed that a lack of storage and difficulty keeping rooms warm are the nation’s biggest household bugbears.
It also says that when it comes to looking for a new home, 63 per cent of people prioritise greater warmth as a feature to look for, yet only 37 per cent of movers consider the Energy Performance Certificate of the home to be important.
The Energy Saving Trust is now urging people to take advantage of interest free loans which are being funded by the Scottish Government in order to help with energy efficiency upgrades – including wall insulation, new boilers and double glazing.
