The BBC is reporting that the forthcoming Green Deal, which seeks to make UK households more energy efficient, is being looked at by government after fears that it does not go far enough. Set to launch in October, Green Deal will allow people to take out loans to improve the energy efficiency of their property. However, some claim that it will in fact collectively waste £2-3 billion in energy bills.
As pointed out, this is worrying news, particularly at a time when there more than 6 million people already living in fuel poverty, with that figure set to rise even further in the coming months. Many people are desperately short of finances and expensive energy bills only add to their problems. It can even force them to live without fuel when they need it most, causing health implications.
Home insulation will play a key part in the Green Deal.…

Despite the recent healthy spate in downpours after an unusually dry winter, homeowners are being advised that hosepipe bans restrictions are set to remain in place for the rest of the year. Secretary for the Environment Caroline Spelman has advised that due to the unpredictable nature of the weather, hosepipe bans will continue until we experience a wet winter.
This follows news that the House of Lords has recommended that water bills rise as a consequence of the widespread water shortages we face in the UK. So ultimately it means that UK homeowners will have no other choice but to lower their water consumption.
Here a few ways you can do it:

According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation for last month dropped to 3.4%, down from 3.6% inflation in January. This accounts for the lowest rate of inflation since November 2010.
Experts state that the drop in inflation can largely be put down to the reduction in price of gas and electricity bills in the last couple of months. Other contributing factors include discounting on digital cameras and cheaper air fares. However, they warn that a rise in oil and food prices over the coming months could have a severe impact upon future inflation and household budgets.
Homeowners also need to be aware that although many of the UK’s major energy suppliers have cut their prices in recent months, it is more than likely that energy bills will rise again at some point in the future and continue to do so in the long-term.…

Consumers have recently been out in force campaigning for VAT to be cut from the cost of energy bills as increasing numbers find themselves living in fuel poverty. VAT on energy bills is currently at 5%. Doing away with VAT could drag up to a quarter of a million people out of fuel poverty and cut up to £60 off the cost of monthly energy bills.
However, it has been discovered that EU legislation states that the UK has no right to 0% VAT on energy bills after the Conservative Government of John Major agreed to such a deal back in 1992.
This will come as a huge blow to those homeowners who were clinging on to the hope that a cut in VAT would ease their energy and financial worries. This latest news confirms that there will be no respite in energy bills in the near future which then…
Another day and yet another story about the high cost of energy for UK families. Research carried out has found that certain families are paying up to £330 per year more on their energy bills than families who consume the same amount of energy, incredible but true.
The IPPR think-tank estimates that there are at least 5.6 million people being affected by this huge problem which they say is occurring due to the larger energy companies out pricing their smaller counterparts, preventing them from gaining any sort of foothold in the energy market.
The new Energy and Climate Change Minister Ed Davey has pledged to do something about it, saying that the high price of energy bills is one of his top priorities. There is also pressure being put on by the Labour Party and the energy regulator Ofgem to ensure more fair play amongst suppliers.
The reluctance of people…
