About one third of escaped heat from an uninsulated home is lost through its walls, while a quarter can be lost through the roof according to the Energy Saving Trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Draught-proofing your home is one of the best ways to cut energy costs, blocking cracks, gaps and holes in windows and doors through which heat can escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heat can also easily escape from water tanks and pipes if they are not &nbsp;properly insulated. If you invest in a better-insulated water tank, it will remain hotter for longer, meaning it will need to be reheated less often, saving you money on bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"section-5-harness-the-sun-s-power\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_HARNESS_THE_SUNS_POWER\"><\/span>5.

In direct sunlight, a single panel can generate 200-350 watts of energy, according to the Energy Saving Trust.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solar panels will cost you around $6,500 (\u00a34,800) to install, depending on the size of the solar panel array. However, this investment saves money over time. Sunlight is free and sustainable, meaning that you won\u2019t have to pay as much in energy bills after the initial purchase.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also additional benefits, as many energy companies will pay for any excess energy your panels produce.

As long as the fan is set to a slow setting, no uncomfortable breeze will be generated.
