New Year energy saving resolutions from Power NI
Power NI has unveiled a simple New Year’s resolution checklist as well as a range of products designed to help slash energy bills for customers across Northern Ireland.
“Customers currently drain away an estimated £28m a year in electricity bills across Northern Ireland and perhaps aren’t as energy aware as they could be,” says Gwyneth Compston, Energy Services Project Manager from Power NI.

“Making small changes and following our simple checklist will ensure that you reap the rewards and save money by becoming more energy wise.”
Boiler servicing, insulation and a range of energy saving products are just some of the small steps that are available from Power NI, all of which could significantly reduce your energy bills.
Nearly half of all the heat lost in an average home in Northern Ireland goes out through the roof space and walls. Fitting insulation or topping up your existing insulation is one of the simplest energy saving measures you can think about to help you save money on your energy bills. Insulating your loft could save you up to £150 per year, whilst cavity wall insulation could save you up to £115 each year off your energy bills (source: Energy Saving Trust).
