Work From Home Surveys
Look Through Your Home Energy Costs Before You Decide To Begin Working From Home
If you are setting up a work from home job or enterprise then one thing you can anticipate is that your house heating bills will go up. This will certainly take place if you work from home the whole day, for example doing Online jobs or office work. But it will also be the case even if you just use your home as a base and administration office for your job or enterprise. Spending more time at home means putting the heating on for extended amounts of time. There is no point enjoying the work from home benefits but trying to cut down on heating to the point of discomfort. So now might be an ideal time to examine your property heating bills and see if things can be done to reduce them, whilst maintaining the home as comfortable as you want.
You may suspect that your current insulation levels are a bit below par. If that is the case the excellent news is that British Gas are at the moment offering free home insulation surveys. In addition to that they are also promoting a choice of free loft insulation or free cavity wall insulation. With potential savings of £350 for the insulation and on average annual savings of £145 this offering could make a big reduction to your work from home set up budget.
This offer does not just apply if you work from home, all gas customers are potentially eligible so the scheme is sure to be popular. The scheme is available either to existing British Gas customers, or to householders who are happy to change to British Gas as their energy provider. This means the scheme is certain to be very popular so any home workers wishing to take advantage are advised to act as soon as possible before the scheme is withdrawn.
Also worth reviewing is your current heating boiler. With many boiler scrappage schemes still available you should consider upgrading now and installing one of the latest technology high efficiency boilers to further reduce your heating bills. Who knows, by starting to work from home you may even end up paying less for your heating than before!
