New data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show that the energy crisis has increased the number of people who are thinking about upgrading their homes to ensure that less heat leaks out.
The ONS found that 26 per cent of adults in the UK are considering changes to their homes' energy efficiency, up from 19 per cent last autumn when it asked the same question.
Energy bills soared by 54 per cent for the average household on a standard variable energy tariff at the beginning of April when the Ofgem price cap on bills was changed and in October bills are expected to go up more than £800 again to around £2,800, considerably more than double their levels from just a few months ago.
