Green properties could make bills cheaper say UIA

In an article on the UIA website entitled “Green properties could make bills cheaper for home insurance customers” by Victor Onuohae he states that “Home insurance customers could make alterations to their property to make it eco-friendly – and may, as a result, enjoy significant savings on their energy bills.”

Chairman of the climate change committee Lord Adair Turner has urged people to take “a whole house approach” and splash out on making their home greener.

But Gordon Miller, founder of whatgreenhome.com, suggested that: “Lord Turner is putting the cart before the horse a little bit here. Most people in the UK haven’t even done the basics yet”.

Simple home improvements, such as adding insulation and choosing an efficient boiler, can save homeowners cash on bills.

Double glazing and cavity wall fillings can also have the desired effect – on the environment, on bills and also on home insurance premiums as double glazing, for example, makes a house more secure.”

“Earlier this month Lord Adair Turner also claimed that by the 2020s Britain will have to decarbonise its electricity output.” says Victor Onuohae of UIA (Insurance) Ltd
