With rising energy costs, autumn is the perfect time to look at ways to make rental homes more energy efficient. Small changes benefit everyone (tenants save on bills, and landlords protect the property’s long-term value).
Checklist:
- Draft‑proofing: Seal around windows and doors to stop heat escaping.
- Smart heating schedules: Use timers to heat rooms only when needed.
- Energy‑efficient bulbs: Simple swap that cuts bills quickly.
- Curtains & blinds: Closing them in the evening reduces heat loss.
Energy efficiency isn’t just about saving money — it’s also about keeping homes comfortable and sustainable.
