The financial benefits of green homes tweaks like insulation will be "more evident than ever" in the current economic situation.
According to the National Insulation Association (NIA), rising fuel costs mean energy-saving measures such as loft insulation, cavity wall insulation and draught proofing - as well as insulation boosters like double glazing windows - have the potential to shave around £275 off an annual heating bill.
"With fast-rising consumer costs in many other areas such as food and fuel, why wait a moment longer to put these money-saving measures into place?" remarked the NIA's chief executive, Neil Marshall.
"There has never been a better time than now to insulate your home," he continued.
"With fuel costs predicted to rise further, the financial benefits will be more evident than ever."
Energywatch notes that the last three years have seen the cost of gas increase by 94 per cent, while electricity bills have soared more than 60 per cent.
In the average home, around 20 per cent of all heat-loss is believed to be the result of poor ventilation and draughts - a problem which can be combated by replacement windows and doors.
Double glazing is proven to save heat and energy lost through poorly-insulated windows and doors. With Energy Efficiency windows and doors as standard, homeowners can now save even more on their heating bills and reduce their carbon footprint.
