Landlords have been issued with energy-saving advice to help them keep
tenants warm and fuel bills down over the coming winter months.
The National Landlords Association (NLA) issued the tips as part of the UK's Energy Saving Week - which gets underway today (October 25th 2010) - with landlords told to replace the light bulbs in their properties with energy-saving models.
This is because they can use up to 80 per cent less power than older light bulbs.
Landlords were also told to install loft, wall and floor insulation to make sure as little heat is being lost from the property as possible.
"The NLA encourages all landlords to consider ways they can make their properties greener to both help the environment and help reduce their tenant's energy bills," said the organisation's chairman David Salusbury.
This year will be the 14th the Energy Saving Week has been held, with advice on transport matters, insulation and generating energy all to be issued over the next few days.
